The world's largest tag-of-war event took place on Oct. 10th and the game ended in a draw.
As I wrote about the yearly event yesterday, two huge pieces of ropes--each weighs more than 20t--are connected before the game starts.
There is a YouTube video sent to me through Twitter which happens to show a close look of how it is like to take part in the tug-of-war event.
A local newspaper reports it took too much time to have those ropes just to get connected and the starting time was delayed half an hour, leaving little time for the event before the time limit for using the Japan't national route 58. So, this year's game lasted only 6 minutes.
Here is a URL of Daikon-no Hana (Restaurant Radish Flower) who posted the very good video.
