Investigation Request from Sports Lover
No Expiration
Venice Adventurer's Guild
Are you familiar with "Calcio"? It's a sport popular in this town where you use your hands and feet to move a ball to a specified location. A young noble is infatuated with it, and wants to know if there aren't any other sports like it in other places around the world. The official at the port knows the details. Go and see 'em.

[IMG:01] Another investigation
Another request already? Why he just received his report on the game from east of India that he requested. My goodness, just how much is he gonna ask for?
Anyway, apparently no one has investigated north of the Spice Islands. Why don't you go and investigate around Sakai?

Ball game investigations? And what is he going to do with that information? You think he wants to try it himself? Sure we use a ball in our games. But I don't know if it is something he's like. You should ask the scholar. He's pretty smart about it. He's even tried it recently.
[IMG:01] The Scholar's Challenge
The game that I attempted? You must be referring to Kemari. It is a game the nobility have been playing for generations. The Samurai families in particular enjoyed it. I did try it, but couldn't do it. My body still hurts all over from it. Go ask the Town Official how to play.
[IMG:01] The Secret of Kemari
Kemari? You use a ball and a foot with a shoe on it. You can play by yourself or with others. But basically the idea is to kick the ball up to set height. And you can't let the ball touch the ground. It tests your skill and wits, not your strength. The Craftsman might have a ball if you're interested.
[IMG:01] A Product he's Proud of
You want to see a Kemari ball? You have good timing. I just finished one. Lately, the nobles are starting to be more interested in sumo, so I don't make that many anymore. But I decided to make one after all this time and it turned out great! I'd love to show it to you!
[IMG:06] Temari for Game-use
I have gathered information in Sakai concerning a game played from older times. It's called Kemari and has some unique rules. Now I just need to find this Kemari ball the Craftsman made and add information about it to my report.
