Tōhachiken; fox-hunter-chief hand game
A traditional Japanese hand game similar to rock-paper-scissors, using gestures for a fox, a hunter, and a village head. The name is sometimes romanized as Tōhachiken.
藤八拳は、狐と猟師と庄屋の三すくみで勝負を決める遊びです。
Tōhachiken is a game decided by the three-way deadlock of fox, hunter, and village head.
じゃんけん is the standard rock-paper-scissors game, while 藤八拳 uses different gestures and a fox-hunter-chief theme.
