ABOUT
Hand-gyo(fish)ball
Hand-gyo(fish)ball.
A yuru sport born in Himi city, the city of handball and Buri (yellowtail). Buri is known as “Syusse-uo (promoted fish)” because their name changes as they grow up.
In hand-gyo(fish)ball, the Buri held under the arms will be “promoted” when a point is scored.
If you score a point, cheer “Syusse (promoted)!” with everyone!
But if you get too excited and drop the precious Buri, you will be sent to the fridge.
Let’s play cooperatively to get everyone in the team promoted to Buri!
