Kajiki Spider Wrestling is said to have started when Yoshihiroko pitted Kogane spiders (female) against each other to boost the morale of his soldiers on the front line. This cultural asset has been passed down from the time when Kajiki was the castle town of Yoshihiroko&#8217;s to the present. <\/p>\n<p>\u59f6\u826f\u5e02\u52a0\u6cbb\u6728\u753a\u3067\u6bce\u5e746\u6708\u306e\u7b2c3\u65e5\u66dc\u65e5\u306b\u884c\u308f\u308c\u308b\u4f1d\u7d71\u884c\u4e8b\u3067\u3059\u3002\u30b3\u30ac\u30cd\u30b0\u30e2\u306e\u30e1\u30b9\u540c\u58eb\u3092\u6226\u308f\u305b\u308b\u6606\u866b\u76f8\u64b2\u3067\u3001\u7d04400\u5e74\u524d\u306e\u6587\u7984\u30fb\u6176\u9577\u306e\u5f79\u3067\u5cf6\u6d25\u7fa9\u5f18\u516c\u304c\u5175\u58eb\u3092\u5143\u6c17\u3065\u3051\u308b\u305f\u3081\u306b\u59cb\u3081\u305f\u3068\u4f1d\u3048\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>\u3053\u306e\u4f1d\u7d71\u7684\u306a\u884c\u4e8b\u306f\u3001\u5b50\u4f9b\u305f\u3061\u306b\u81ea\u7136\u3092\u611b\u3059\u308b\u5fc3\u3092\u80b2\u307f\u3001\u5730\u57df\u306e\u6587\u5316\u3092\u7d99\u627f\u3059\u308b\u4e0a\u3067\u91cd\u8981\u306a\u5f79\u5272\u3092\u679c\u305f\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u305d\u3046\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>The event is divided into three divisions:<br \/>\n1) The Superior Spider Competition (Beauty Contest)<br \/>\n2) Spider Fighting Division (Youth and Adult Divisions)<br \/>\n3) Championship Division<\/p>\n<p>But there is also a visitor&#8217;s division where I borrowed of of their spiders and participated in the battle!<br \/>\nSpider fighting tournaments are rare in Japan with only a few cities doing it.
