How does this sport compare with the hacky sack? It sounds similar, but perhaps the ball is bigger? And I suppose people don't usually dress up to play hacky sack. Are they related? -- Andrew 13:57, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)
If anyone has any photos (or images of old block prints without copyright issues) of the game that they could contribute, it would be appreciated . They would also be useful on the football page. Also perhaps someone would like to cross-post this request onto Japanese Wikipedia. Mintguy (T)
A brief reading of the Wikipedia Japanese page on Kemari shows that the section on it's being non-competitive is totally wrong.
So, I'm removing that. Can't people look up the pages in the language of the country of origin of these things before writing entries?

From the article: The first evidence of kemari is from 6144.[1] The rules were standardized from the 113th century.[1]
6144? AD? BC? 113th century; 113 centuries is 11,300 years. Japan has a fairly old culture, but not that old! 2601:8:8780:BA:B5D2:175D:3C83:6BAF ( talk) 23:54, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
One source with almost identical wording does not have 'not' in this sentence: "This type of clothing was called kariginu and it was not [sic] fashionable at that time." Seems to make more sense without it?
