We walked by a group of ajoshis (grandpas) playing a traditional game where four sticks, each with a flattened side, are tossed onto the ground. It seemed that a valuable throw was to get all four sticks to land the same (all flat-side down or up). This man was annihilating everyone, nailing the 4 up/down round after round after round, which I attribute to his hop-and-release technique (photo coming soon). Perhaps it was a gambling game and his friends were about to owe him a bunch of money. Perhaps he was very drunk (though lacking the red face and *ahem* scent, doubtful)... Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps. Whatever the cause, he was indeed laughing his ass off too much to ignore.

Is he singing or just laughing his ass off?
Either way, this photo is AWESOME.
Thank you, m'dear!

I love a good knee-slapping, foot-stomping, head-throwing bout of laughter. Great moment captured!
