No.11 "24th Hodogaya Ward Handmade Paper Hikoki Tournament" was held.

On Sunday, July 31, the "Hodogaya Ward Handmade Paper Hikoki Tournament" was held for the first time in three years.
Although the scale was slightly reduced due to consideration for preventing the spread of infection, on the day of the event, more than 100 athletes who won the qualifying rounds in 18 districts in the city gathered and competed for the flight time of the proud paper Hikoki.

Every time a good record was made, cheers, and generous applause to the players were given in the venue, and we were able to have a good time together.
On this day, the tournament record (15 seconds 11 * has not been broken for more than 10 years) did not come true, but a wonderful record of 10 seconds 45 was measured.
The competition was held in four classes by age, with diplomas and medals were given to the top three students in each class, and a participation prize and record certificate were given to all participants. Once again, congratulations to all of you.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the members of the Hodogaya Ward Youth Instructors Council for their great efforts, from planning the tournament to the holding of the regional qualifying rounds and the operation of the day. I think there was more difficult than ever to hold the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you very much for your help!
