A playful studio scene of 4 girls playing a game of konkonchiki. The objective of the game was to put one’s hand through a loop that had been created in the middle of a long sash and grab a cup of sake that was placed on a stand behind the loop. The player should remove his or her hand before the other participants could close the loop and trap you.
Players who are not able to grab the sake cup and remove his or her hand from the loop would drink the cup of sake. This game was believed to be played by geisha at parties and New Year celebrations. A children’s version of the game uses water instead of sake. A "gekkin" (moon lute) is hanging on the alcove pillar.

Japanese Children in Traditional Dress Playing Shamisen - Woman Artist
Located in Miami, FL
East meets West in this charming illustration where a female American Illustrator paints a scene of two jovial Japanese youths in a semi-Japanese style.
