The 'Japan Shiritori Association' is a general incorporated association aimed at the research, development, education, exchange, and popularization of Shiritori (a Japanese word chain game). We believe that if people learn more words while enjoying Shiritori and can accurately express and understand thoughts and ideas, conflicts will decrease. We are an organization that wants to bring the world closer to peace and increase smiles through the power of Shiritori.
