Fukuwarai
Fukuwarai ( Japanese 福 笑 い , dt. "Happy Laughter") is a Japanese children's game that is played especially on the Japanese New Year celebrations. The game is usually played by children, but adults also play it from time to time. The game is similar to the English game Pin the tail on the donkey , but in contrast to this, it is played on a table. In the Fukuwarai game, blindfolded players place the various missing parts such as eyes, ears, nose or mouth on an empty face. The result is then considered and is used for general amusement.
There are also Fukuwarai online games, and a version with the face of Hillary Clinton in particular is popular on the internet.
