RANGS Japan Kendama Association Certified Competition Kendama "Ozora" Matte Two-Tone Light Blue & Pink [Made In Japan, Spare String Included]

Product Introduction

[Japan Kendama Association Certified] A Japanese-made product, designated as a manufacturing facility by the Japan Kendama Association. Yamagata Kobo has been manufacturing competitive kendama for over 40 years. This kendama is designed with precision and quality in mind, allowing for a wide variety of tricks, allowing players to challenge themselves as their skills improve. It has passed the Japan Toy Association's safety standard ST test, making it suitable for beginners and even for kendama tournaments and exams.

This is a professional-grade kendama made in Japan, boasting excellent quality, precision, and balance. The blade and base are made of domestic beechwood, a wood commonly used for flooring and furniture. It has a fine grain and is somewhat heavy and hard, but is well-suited for processing. The ball is made of domestic cherry wood, a wood primarily used for furniture. It is somewhat heavy and hard, with little warping or bending, making it easy to process.

[Matte] The matte, high-friction finish makes tricks like the lighthouse and moon landing easier than the standard sky trick. The color scheme makes it easy to see the ball's rotation in the air, making tricks easier to perform, and it's also easy to understand when demonstrating or teaching kendama tricks. The matte finish allows the ball to easily release from the hand when performing tricks like the jug and swap (air transfer), which have recently been adopted as compulsory moves in Kendama Association competitions, successfully resolving the weaknesses of traditional high-friction paints, such as "the friction of the paint catches on the fingers, disrupting the rotation," and "the noticeable effect of hand sweat."

The design improves ball control, a priority in recent Kendama Association competitions, without sacrificing friction, making this a highly comprehensive kendama suitable for everyone from beginners to All Japan Championship level players.
