Description

Kendama is a Japanese wooden toy used since the 1700's for increasing Hand/Eye Coordination, as well as Reflex and Balance. Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy consisting of a ken (sword) and tama (ball) connected by a string. The ken has three cups and a spike which fits into the hole in the ball. Basic kendama tricks consist of catching the ball in the cups and on the spike, however a huge variety of kendama tricks can be performed by juggling the ball between the cups, balancing it in various positions on the ken, balancing the ken on the ball and juggling the kendama. Kendama bears similarities to the classic cup and ball game, and the Hispanic world toy known as boliche or balero. The principle of these toys are the same: catching one object with another, where both are joined by a string. However the modern kendama style takes influences from a diverse range of skills including yo yo, diabolo, juggling and dance. Wikipedia Review: First off, just for those who don't know. Kendama's are fundamentally a 'ball-in-a-cup' game. However, over time it has evolved into a sport of sort. I picked these up to give to some of my friends and after initial curiosity of what they were. They had loved using them and already started pushing themselves to learn 'tricks' just to see if they could do it. So if you or the person you're buying it for is a person who has a lot of dedication, the kendama is great and these are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Review: Played with them and then gave them to the neighbors kids. Good entertainment
