What is Kendama?
Kendama is a toy that has long enjoyed popularity in Japan among both children and adults. While it may appear simple at first glance, kendama is a deep game with more than 1,000 different techniques for players to try to master. It can be played anywhere and by anyone, both men and women, young and old. The game is said to be helpful in developing concentration and perseverance. These days, however, this traditional toy is no longer just an amusement; it is becoming a competitive sport with competitions taking place all across the world.
How is the Kendama played?
The game is basically played by tossing the ball and attempting to catch it in one of the cups or to spear it with the point of the stick. Although it may sound simple, there are a nearly unlimited number of specific techniques for doing so.

Origin
Many people may think that kendama was invented in Japan, but this is not actually the case. While many different theories exist, there are records indicating that kendama originated in France in the sixteenth century. There are also theories that this game was developed in Greece or China, and the absolute truth is not known. However, Hatsukaichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture is considered to be the birthplace of the modern Japanese Kendama.
 
My Review:
My kids have kendamas and play with them all the time. The concept is very simple but the execution takes some practice...you toss the ball (its is attached with a string) then you try to get it to land on one of the end cups or for a bigger challenge try to pin it on the top of the wooden handle. The game offers hours of fun and concentration.

The kendama is made of solid beechwood, I really like that the ball is made with a special high gloss paint that helps to prevent it from chipping. The handle is very easy to hold onto, and works with left and right handed. The string is very durable as well, many other brands you will find a very weak string plus this comes with extra just in case. Overall an excellent well crafted kendama. I was sent this for review purposes.
