A nonprofit in Nara attempted to determine the format of this older style and added points that are scored by kicking the ball into the opponent's territory. The style was revived to coincide with the 2002 FIFA World Cup cohosted by Japan and South Korea. The nonprofit has continued to stage performances at the shrine. At the event on May 23, competitors dressed in ancient costumes split into two teams and played a match. Kenta Irimajiri, a freestyle soccer player, also captivated the crowd with a display of his footwork.
