Woman wins traditional drinking game in western Japan

KOCHI, Japan - Eatery waitress Kaori Morita (R) emerges the winner at a "Hashiken" drinking game in Kochi, western Japan, on Oct. 1, 2014. In the traditional game, two people sit facing each other with three chopsticks each, and both players guess the number of chopsticks hidden under the forearm. The loser must drink a cup of sake each time.

The woman, apparently a maid, sitting beside the container of cooked rice is offering second helpings by extending the tray. The woman in the center is eating rice and side dishes with chopsticks. The shoji screen, three-stringed shamisen and chrysanthemums make this a classic Japanese scene.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐49‐0]
