What does it say on this drinking game?


I have something similar to figurine that looks a Russian doll. It has kanji
that I cannot recognize. This probably is a drinking game? I would be so happy
to know these kanji and the official name of this:

This looks like **方**. After that I can't read.

One of the other sides just has the hiragana **ろ**.  
The bottom is blank.  
The 4th sides has these characters: [![enter image description

The cube that fits in the middle has these 6 sides:  
(1) blank  
(2) 踊  
(3) 唄  
(4) 五合  
(5) 壹合  
(6) ＿升 // <-- I have zero reputation so I cannot write the kanji I can't
recognize here

This is so much to ask. So, any bits of information will help so much to
identify this.




It seems to say (thanks to @brokenheadphones & @Shoko)

> 手のなる方へ ＝ 手の鳴る方【ほう】へ

alluding to 『鬼さんこちら、手のなる方へ』, a phrase used in tag-like game with a blindfolded
鬼 (the person who is "it"). (See 目隠し鬼 on
[kotobank.jp](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E7%9B%AE%E9%9A%A0%E3%81%97%E9%AC%BC-141206).)

I suppose you roll the die and depending on what comes up you should

  * [blank]
  * dance (踊)
  * sing (唄)
  * drink from the small cup (壹合【いちごう】)
  * drink from the middle cup (五合【ごごう】)
  * drink from the large cup (壹升【いっしょう】)

Here 壹 is an alternative _kanji_ for 一 "one".

合【ごう】 is a measuring unit, about 180 ml. 10合 = 1升【しょう】, so about 1.8 l.
(Judging from the size, the actual size of the cups is probably not what it
says, which would have to be roughly 180 ml, 902 ml, 1804 ml.)
