This is generally considered a girls' game. Players take turns flicking small,
coin-shaped pieces called ohajiki with their fingers, to hit other pieces. In the
old days, they used pebbles, or pieces from another game, go. Today, the
pieces are usually made of glass. When playing, make a circle with your thumb
and index finger (or middle finger), then flick one piece with your thumb.

4. Kendama
A kendama is a wooden toy known all over the world. Records show that the
game came to Japan from China about 200 years ago. A number of skills are
required. Flick the ball up so that it lands in the smallest cup, then the largest,
then the medium-sized one, in that order. Then toss the ball so that its hole
slides over the pointed tip. Next, see who can do this the fastest. To make it
even more challenging, hold the ball with the hole facing up, then pitch the
handle into the air and make the pointed end land in the hole. Adults also like
the game, some so much that they join kendama clubs.

with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the
nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called
"boxes", "blocks", "regions", or "sub-squares") contains all
of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a
partially completed grid, which typically has a unique
solution.
