Some Japanese folk games

The tumbler falls down like the Chinese "One step forward, one step back".

The general rule is that someone turns his back to the group. After shouting the words "DARUMASANKORODA", he turns around to see if anyone is in the middle of the action. Look back to see if anyone is in the middle of the action. If they do, they're out. If you don't get caught, you're out of the game. Reach your opponent as fast as you can.

This folk game also has a Chinese connection. DARUMA is the Shaolin monk DARUMA.
