RIRIKI: Traditional Game In Fiji

 

RIRIKI GAME

This painting shows a traditional Fijian game. You can see in the illustration that there are many boys and girls climbing onto tree trunks on the beach and jumping with various beautiful jumping styles. This image illustration was created in the 1800s.

Fijians in the past called this traditional game Ririki. In the past, Melanesian people had a variety of traditional games, both games played on land and at sea. The young people looked happy and cheerful when playing the game. The Melanesian people's skill in creating traditional games allows them to get to know each other as groups, tribes and families.
