Kyoshinkai is a competitive exhibition annually held in November in Joboji. It is divided into three sections in accordance with three tapping seasons: Hatsu, Sakari, and Sue. As an experienced urushi tapper slots in a paddle into each barrel and pull it up, judges quickly check quality of the urushi by their eyes and record it on a rating form. Receiving a prize in Kyoshinkai is a great honor for tappers.
