Here are a few shots from Tekinan's Sports Festival (UNDOUKAI) September 1997

The school divides vertically into four teams for the Sports Festival every Fall.

 
Boys prepare for a battle! !

Girs have a battle of their own with a long rope. It is like a tug of war pulling the rope from side to side instead of from end to end.

The boys about to battle! They try to knock each other off.

TSUNAHIKI (tug-of-war) blue versus white.

The relay pass!

The agony of defeat and the victor's smile.

The closing "folk dance" to Turkey-in-the-straw.
