Week # 1 Mystery Photo

Congratulations to the Fathy family for the correct answer:

It is a game called "paint the cheeks of the dolly". Kids try to paint the doll's face while blind folded. It's the Japanese version of "pin the tail on the donkey".

 

This is the actual explanation in the Japanese Toy Catalog:

FUKUWARAI GAME ; Let's make funny face! Simple game to put the parts of face on the sheets of Okame & Hyottoko. Player put bandage over eyes.

Here are some of the answers I received this week:

• it looks like "Hot Potato" because her head is in the shape of a potato.
• the Japanese version of monopoly- you play the game on her face; the first person to get to the lips wins
• it could be a Japanese art kit or a mask making kit
• Japanese checkers
•  go fish
• Mooga card game- you turn the cards over without looking and try to match them
• a new game called Pokemon Gold
