Playing ku-pi in front of a tent. Photographer: Bell, Charles Alfred
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
'Each player contributes one copper coin, probably a sho. Say there are four players, each in turn throws the four coins to near a small hole in the ground. One of the other players says 'Di shu', i.e. 'Hit this one.' The player who has thrown the four coins throws a larger coin and tries to pitch it on the one indicated. If he succeeds, he takes all four coins. If he hits one of the other coins he must put another coin in the pool. If he hits no coin, he neither wins nor loses anything. This photo shows a player throwing the four coins, or whatever the number be.'
