Japanese festivals also have an array of carnival games.
Here, a child prepares to play Kingyo-sukui, or “goldfish scooping”. In his hand is a poi, which is an easily-torn paper net that he’ll use to scoop goldfish into a bowl. Any fish he successfully scoops, he gets to keep. Once the net is completely torn, the game is over.
Other items that can be scooped up with a poi at a summer festival include floating toys, bouncy balls, small turtles and even baby chickens.
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out that last one.
