• "Rock, Paper, Scissors" in english,
• "Pierre, Papier (≠ Feuille), Ciseaux" in french,
• "Jan-Ken-Pon" or "Janken!" in japanese
• or also know as "Shifumi"

is a child and an adult game.

Dispite the duality aspect of the game it is also played for decisional purposes: let's ask the following question:
"Who's washing the dishes tonight, uh ?"
You don't want to but neither your roommate or partner, so "Who?" That's the question ! Let's settle that with the Shifumi game then!

The origins of this game is mainly from the Asian culture as we could imagine and appearing in the 19th, but why "Shifumi" ?
"Shifumi" actually came from "Hi-Fu-Mi", which corresponds to "hito" (one) "futa" (two) and "misu" (three) in japanese even though, in Japan the game is named Jan-Ken-Pon or Janken as mentionned earlier.
But ...( always a "but" ) according to a Xiè Zhàozhì book, the lords from the Han dynasty were playing a similar game named "shǒushìlìng".
That's it for your culture G today. Now this is your turn to play!
