Oshikura Manju

Players stand shoulder to shoulder in a tight circle or huddle, facing inward toward the center.

On a signal, everyone leans and pushes gently with their shoulders and back against their neighbors at the same time.

Players chant a simple rhythmic phrase together as they push, timing their shoves to the beat.

The playful goal is simply to stay warm and keep the group's energy up, since nobody is meant to fall or get hurt.

Players can rotate positions in the huddle so everyone gets a turn being squeezed from different sides.
