The 11th Hirohata and Natsume Cup
At JJF2013 the Hirohata and Natsume cup will be awarded to two jugglers for their impressive displays of juggling. The Hirohata Cup will be awarded by Mr. Hirohata (Head of secretariat for the Japanese Juggling Association), and the Natsume Cup will be awarded by Mr. Natsume (Editor-in-chief of the Japanese Juggling Association's SWJ bulletin paper). While this is not a formal JJF event, it is held every year by the commitee members.
For the basic concept, the awards are given for the following:
- Hirohata Cup - Interesting/original juggling
- Natsume Cup - High level juggling
Both winners are seen to be people who will help shape the future of Japanese juggling.
The awards will be annouced during JJF2013.
For those who wish to take part, please continue to perfect your skills in preperation for the event.
