Sengoku - Japanese plebeian games

[czachson]

Hello . My name is Pawe³, I'm from Poland.
I'm writing to ask about Japanese plebeian games from Sengoku period.
In detail I need names of any games and rules... I were looking everywhere in the net but i haven't found anything interesting.

Greetings

Baron Effingham's site lists several games, both in the sense of tabletop games and sporting games. Visit www.sengokudaimyo.com/miscellany/miscellany.html and scroll down to Kai-awase, Go, Shogi, Sugoroku, Kemari, Gitcho, and Card Games.

I'm not sure if you mean "plebeian games" as in "games that were common" or "games for commoners". If you mean the second, I'd try Sugoroku to start. It's basically backgammon.

This 16th century screen in the Toyko National Museum shows some young people playing hanetsuki, a game similar to badminton, that is still played by children at New Year's/. There are also players in the foreground doing something with paddles on strings and a ball.
