Kemari
Kemari is an ancient Japanese sport that combines teamwork, balance, and precision. The objective is simple yet challenging: keep a ball in the air using synchronized movements. Players use their heads, feet, knees, backs, and occasionally shoulders to keep the ball, known as "mari," airborne. The ball is crafted from deer hide, carefully shaped and stitched to perfection. This elegant sport is as much about grace and coordination as it is about physical skill, making it a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s cultural heritage.
