Japanese culture : Fukuwarai
Fukuwarai (福笑い) is a traditional Japanese game often played during the New Year holiday. The name translates to “lucky laugh” or “happy laugh.”
In this game, players place facial features such as eyes, eyebrows, a nose, and a mouth onto a blank face shape, similar to a puzzle. The challenge is that the player is blindfolded, resulting in comically misaligned features.
The game is lighthearted and is meant to bring laughter and joy to participants and onlookers. It’s a popular activity among families and children, symbolizing fun and good fortune for the coming year.
