Shuttlecock
Hanetsuki is the Japanese traditional version of Shuttlecock, similar to modern racket games like badminton but without a net. Players use a rectangular wooden paddle called a hagoita and a brightly coloured shuttlecock. Often played by girls the game can also be played by any gender in two methods. One method is for one person to attempt to keep the shuttlecock aloft as long as possible. The second method is for two people batting it back and forth. Players who miss the shuttlecock get marked on the face with India Ink. Traditionally, the longer the shuttlecock remains in the air, the greater protection from mosquitoes the players will receive during the coming year.
