IMAGES & WORDS: ROCK, PAPER AND SCISSORS




Japanese people learn Jan Ken Pon almost before they can walk, and use it as a way to settle disputes, pass the time, or decide teams of babies. Jan Ken Pon is the most common way to decide the winner in Japan. Rock breaks scissors, scissors cuts paper, and paper covers rock. Use one hand and make 3 different shapes to decide the winner or loser. Great thing about Jan Ken Pon is that you can use it with multi-persons.

  3. Your vibrant photo is a real eye catcher.
    Even after reading your explanation of the game ( though concise and enlightening)
    I have to say...it sounds to me like the height of boredom to play it....LOL!!!

    Good Job, Belita

    1. Of course, it's boredom but if you were familiar with the Japanese traditions and way of thinking, you might understand it well...
