undecided. For example, before the match, players cannot decide in which situa-
tions will they create Maai and in which will they break it. Therefore, players need
to bring about the improvisational co-emergence of Maai. From the results, we can
see in-phase movement, in which the distance between avatars did not change
noticeably. This in-phase movement means the co-emergence of Maai. When Maai
is co-created between two avatars, repeated creation and breakdown of entrainment
was noticed in the rhythm controller waveform, and entrainment in multiple cycles
is created (Fig.

b). This means that humans have the potential to create entrain-
ment with multiple periods.
Further, we address the problem of supporting the co-emergence of Maai
between remote places, because Maai did not co-emerge in the remote Kendo

rhythm of the rhythm controller) as a haptic stimulus. However, in a remote Kendo
