摘要:"Chikaramochi", which means a kind of weight-lifting by using a stone, is the game which had been played from the Edo period till the Taisho. In many yards of shrines and public halls in the Himeji district, we can find what we call "Chikara-ishi", stones which were used for the game "Chikaramochi". Those stones weigh from about 160 to 280kg. We can realize from the writings on the surfaces of those stones that the game "Chikara-mochi" was played by sailors, stevedores and fishermen as well as farmers. When those stones, which stirred the blood of youth about one hundred years ago, are now getting out of our mind, we must take a proper measure for preserving them as a cultural property of sports.
