SAKURAI, Japan - A traditional ''kemari'' football festival is held at a shrine in the city of Sakurai in the ancient Japanese capital of Nara on Oct. 17. Also known as ''shukiku,'' kemari is a traditional game in which the players form a circle and kick a ball back and forth without letting it fall to the ground. The game was being played at the imperial court as early as the mid-7th century.
