Thank you for viewing. This is a first-time release from an old family that has supported local medical care since the mid-Meiji period. This is a complete set of tools for Tosenkyo, a traditional Japanese game that has been popular for a long time. "Supervised by the Great Head Temple Enman-in Monzeki," famous for practicing Tosenkyo since the ancient Heian period. This is a set from around 1970, intended for those who appreciate authenticity. ◉ How to Play It's very simple. You sit down and lightly throw a fan, aiming to knock down the butterfly. Points are awarded based on how the butterfly falls and the position of the fan and butterfly. It is an elegant and intellectual game. I believe it is a graceful indoor game that allows you to enjoy traditional culture up close. ◉ Enman-in Monzeki Tosenkyo This is a prestigious temple located in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. It is also known for allowing visitors to experience "Tosenkyo," a game played by Heian nobles since ancient times.
