What is necessary to organize a party

The first thing you need to think about is how to prepare the interior. It is not difficult to do this. To create a classical Japanese holiday, you need a muted light, wall fans, bamboo products, ikebana in vases and pots, incense and floating candles. Different Japanese masks, paper lanterns, decorative fountains will do the same. The walls can be hung with brown, red and white fabrics. All this can be purchased inexpensively in the store.

The next stage is a selection of suits suitable for a Japanese party. Guest dresses can represent traditional Japanese images: samurai, geisha girls, sumo wrestlers, yakuza, ninja, etc. Clothing - kimono, colorful dressing gowns and sweaters with a pleasant scent, belted with a wide belt of red, yellow or black. It is important to choose and appropriate makeup - brightly-brought eyes, ruddy cheeks, pale skin, brightly colored lips. Her hair can be fixed by chopsticks, young people can put hair with gel or carelessly tousle with lacquer.

And of course music that will help create a festive atmosphere. For this, Japanese folk music is best suited. You can also use the sounds of nature - the rustle of leaves, the noise of a waterfall, etc.

Particular attention should be paid to the table and the festive menu. Rectangular dishes for this are best. Tablecloth islafetki pick with a bamboo pattern and do not forget the chopsticks. On the table you can serve sushi, rolls, hasi, sake, etc. Prepare all these dishes to a professional. But you can make tea yourself. It must be necessarily fresh and hot.

Fun for a party in Japanese style

For entertainment you can propose various competitions. For example, a contest for the best costume, make-up, hairstyle or dance with fans. You can spend a match on sumo. This requires an even number of participants. We break them in pairs. Then, to each belly of the contestant we bind a few balls. After that, the contestants stand against each other and put their hands on their knees. At the command of the leader, "sumoists" converge, trying to burst the balls of the opponent and prevent them from bursting their balls. The winners continue to compete with another team. The losing participants retire from the contest. The winner is the last remaining participant.

You can offer to play "Kabuki Theater". This kind of art originated from ancient times. Acting as the traditional kabuki theater only men, they performed even female roles. Men should act with white faces, red lips and in a kimono. This event reminds the European art of pantomime. The contest is simple and interesting. You create a modern funny situation and amusing entertainment for an hour is self-sufficient.

It is interesting to arrange a contest for the best samurai. For this competition, the following props will be required: 5-10 plastic rings up to 15 centimeters in diameter and a bamboo or wooden cane. Participants split into pairs, one of them plays the role of a samurai, the other plays the role of a faithful bearer. Samurai give a cane - this is his sword, and the squire gives the ring. We set them apart from each other for a certain distance. The samurai must catch the sword the maximum number of rings that his squire throws to him. At kogookazhetsa more rings on the sword, he won.

For the contest "Japanese Tower" will need a large number of usual matches, which must be distributed to the contest participants. Before the competition, the task is to build from matches a maximum tower with a specified length of time. Who has the tower will be higher, that is the winner. It is good for each competition to prepare small prizes for the winners.

You can arrange a contest "Japanese conversation". As a rule, in the Japanese alphabet absolutely all letters have pronunciations. Try to talk for some time, adding a certain syllable to each word: for the first competition it will be for the second, for the second one, for the third one, etc. You can also hold a contest for the best pronunciation of one of the most difficult letters of the alphabet - "p". In Japanese, such a letter has a sound, as it were between "p" and "l", while the tongue must be on the palate.

Such a Japanese party will be remembered for a long time by all present guests, as it is filled with continuous laughter and merriment.
