Gateball

I was invited to stop by the shrine across the river from us to watch the rojin (old-folks) club play gateball. They comtinued playing long after I left, but I think I was there long enough to get a general idea of the rules... We are planning to ask them to teach a group of twenty customers we will have next weekend.

Wow your going to have 20 customers? That's quite a bit, is it some sort of business trip or something?

I've seen many of the old folks out in the sun playing this. I wonder if they are as hard-hearted as the croquet players back in England.
