This year an eight-member Japanese team of young players whose average age was 20 toured China for two weeks in the middle of May. The host country also fielded young players, and by coincidence the average age of the 41 players in the Chinese teams was also 20. The result of the seven matches was a narrow victory for the touring side, which scored 29 wins to 27 losses. The stars for the touring side were Morita 4-dan and Miss Aoki Kikuyo 2-dan, both of whom scored 6-1.
