In Mongolia, people keep the anklebone of sheep and goats, called shagai, instead of throwing it away. A tradition says that discarding these bones brings bad luck, so every household saves them in a bone container. Children use the bones for play and learning. For example, they play games similar to Japanese ohajiki and do addition and subtraction with the bones. The bones displayed at the multicultural exhibition held in Hachioji in March are now posted at the school entrance. If you live nearby, please come see and touch them!
