A type of game. Players throw rings made of metal, wood, or hemp rope at poles or posts placed at a set distance apart, competing to see who can get the most rings into the poles or posts. It has a long history, dating back to ancient Greece when it was played as a sport, and was introduced to Japan during the Meiji period, but is mainly played as a children's game. In England, it was a popular game in izakayas, and is still played today as a deck game on ship voyages.

遊戯の一種。一定の距離を決めて置いた棒や柱に、金属、木または麻縄(あさなわ)などでつくった輪を投げかけて、棒や柱に入った数の多さを競う。古代ギリシアでスポーツとして行われていたという古い歴史をもち、日本には明治時代に伝わったが、おもに子供の遊戯として行われている。イギリスでは居酒屋などで人気のある遊びであった。そのほか、現在でも船の旅の際には、デッキ・ゲームとして行われている。 [高野 修] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
