An angry table overturning competition is being held in Japan (7 photos + 1 video)

Truly a samurai competition! In Japan, a special competition helps to find out who best expresses anger and uncontrollable rage. Because it’s not customary in Japan to express your emotions, but when it’s first come first served, it’s normal.





Tea table turning competition

For more than 15 years in a row, a competition to turn over and throw tea tables has been held. It is important that this is a tea table, because this is an attribute of traditional tea drinking.



Of course, everything is covered on Japanese television

That’s why the presenter here is always dressed for the tea ceremony. I love the funniest moment when the presenter gives the signal to act.

The participant sits decorously next to the host of the tea ceremony at this table. Then the presenter touches his shoulder and says: “Stop it.” And this is a sign that it’s time to destroy and scream with rage!

Very vital.





But it’s fun as a presenter and a woman!

It's actually a truth contest

The most important thing is that when the table overturns, participants are allowed to shout ANYTHING. Many people sign up just for this.

Many people shout “I hate my boss”, some funny ones say “I want to get a girlfriend”. The most common cry is that it is high time for him to be promoted at work.



An old grandmother came to leave the table, two people supported her, and still she was thrown around!

But the good-natured participant Shinya Chiba won not so long ago, she shouted: “Go, Big Bulls” (Japanese basketball team). And she threw the plastic fish a record 8.3 meters. Wait, what does this have to do with some fish?!

How to evaluate talent



Girls can too. And even necessary!

A plastic fish is placed on the table, and the main assessment of the quality of anger is measured by it. The fish can lie either in a cup or among a mass of other plastic food for entertainment. And then go find her in all this chaos.

How far the fish will fly from the table, and it doesn’t matter how far the person throws the table itself. This is why it is not the force of throwing that is important here, but rage and technique. A good decision, because both old men and women, and not just strong men, have a chance to win. IN THE RAGE ALL ARE EQUAL!



Here is this fish, there are also cups, a teapot, some kind of plastic face lying around

Plus, artistry, strength of shouting, and sincerity are also assessed. In short, you need to feel it with your spine.

The competition itself comes from the Japanese idiom "chabudai gaeshi", which means anger from intense emotional disappointment. In English there is also a phrase turning tables, but there it means a sharp change of positions. When a loser becomes a leader and vice versa.



As a prize they give... a table. It's a pity, I would have taken the fish!
