Makura-Nage Part 1

In many Japanese schools, students and teachers go a school trip for a few days annually.

In the midnight in the trip, there is a customary annual event called "makura-nage."

"Makura" means "pillow", "nage" means "to throw", and during the "makura-nage", students throw pillows to each other.

There is no rules in many cases -- they just throw pillows heart and soul.

Here, futon (Japanese bedding) is often used as shields to pillows.

By the way, I heard that pillows are regarded as a weapon in Germany.

Tomorrow I will talk about the official rule of the makura-nage in Japan.

枕投げ Part 1

多くの日本の学校では、学校行事として年に一度修学旅行があります。

そして修学旅行の夜中の恒例行事として、枕投げがあります。

枕投げは多くの場合ルールなどは無く、とにかく枕を投げてぶつけ合います。

この際、布団が盾として利用されることも多いです。

ちなみに、ドイツでは枕は法律で武器とみなされるようです。

明日は日本での枕投げの公式戦のルールを紹介します。
