KENDAMA is one of the traditional Japanese toys. In Japan, this toy is mainly played during the New Year's holiday. In recent years, it has become a popular street sport and a worldwide boom, with the Kendama World Cup being held in Hiroshima, Japan.

KENDAMA is a traditional toy that has been handed down from generation to generation in Japan, making it a great souvenir from Japan.

The KENDAMA is made up of the “Ken” (handle) and the “Tama” (ball), which is connected by a string.  The KENDAMA tricks are done by variations of juggling the ball in the 3 cups, spiking the ball with the Ken spike, and balancing both in new creative ways.  Mastering the Kendama takes practice, focus, patience, and creativity.

We love that the KENDAMA is a simple, productive, interactive toy that strengthens mental and physical skills while you play.  In today’s world of toys bombarded with flashy lights, computers, and mainstream entertainment, the KENDAMA stands out with its simple design and creative new ways to have fun.
