騎馬戦

Chicken fighting, elevated stakes

騎馬戦 (kibasen) means “cavalry battle.” It is the traditional game of chicken fighting played at Japanese school sports days: classmates lock arms to form a horse, carry a rider on top, and the riders battle to pull off each other's headbands.

KIBASEN keeps the horse and the rider, and raises the stakes.
