Samurai Showdown
Godsdammit, Mary got me inspired again!! I am scheming all the time about how to promote medieval Japanese culture in the SCA, which is one of my many nefarious plans.
This year or the next, at an event I am thinking of holding a meta-contest of sorts. My ideas is to hold fun Japanese medieval-esque type of activities. Below is my short list of ideas. I would love to pick the collective brains of my LJ peeps too, so let'er rip.
1. Hanetskuki - Shuttlecock and Battledore, either badminton-like competition or a game of keep'em up
2. Some sort of relay race in geta (wooden platform sandals)
3. Poetry Contest - Tanka (5-7-5-7-7) composed on a theme perhaps, this is my favourite waka site <http://www.temcauley.staff.shef.ac.uk/poems.shtml>
