  • Kemari (毛鞠) is a small, fur-covered Ayakashi that moves swiftly, but is virtually harmless.
  • Kemari was a game in which a leather ball was knocked about using their feet, knees, shoulders and head, their arms folded behind their backs. A circle of players attempted to keep a large leather ball in the air as long as possible without using their hands. The game was introduced by the Shinjo. It was played in full courtly dress, kimonos and peaked black caps. There was no particular function to kemarl; it simply passed time and kept the players fit. Many players found that maintaining one's dignity during a game as much of a challenge as keeping the ball in the air, a subtle metaphor for the complex life of a samurai.
