What's the game, and how is it played?

[oceanclub2]

@Dinker27 Good question - kinda like Rock Paper Scissors. I managed to find this description: "In this version, the geisha and her guest have to adopt one of three guises: an old woman with a cane, a tiger, or a samurai warrior with a spear. The participants prepare for their roles on either side of a partition and, at the designated moment, emerge in one of the poses. The tiger eats the old lady, the samurai kills the tiger but the old lady wins against the warrior because she is his mother."

I see. It's kinda like RPS+Ninja in a way. :] I was looking around for games played and it seems YouTube has about two of them.

Thanks for uploading nonetheless. :D
