dc.descriptionThis is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.
dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: There's a new activity that's taking the rapidly growing senior community by storm here in Japan and it ain't shuffleboard. It's blow darting. You heard me. Blowing darts. This ancient rain forest tradition has attracted thousands of practitioners among the graying Japanese set. In fact, in a mere five years, membership in the national blow dart club has tripled and the average age of the blow darter is about 70. When you think about it, blow darting, or fukiya, might just be the perfect sport for the elderly: you can do it standing, from a wheelchair, even without using your arms, if you need to. Sure, practitioners use blunt plastic darts when they're practicing but... we would still advise their children to treat their parents with care and to cover their necks at all times. #Japan #Hacker #CEAS
