[First FANKEN original design model] TOKYO KENDAMA×FANKEN We combined beach-based Ken and Tama with wenge wood! It is designed with weight balance in mind! *Tama is an unpainted product.
[About Wenge Wood] Wenge wood is a wood native to Africa, characterized by its distinct grain and exotic texture. Its beautiful grain and solid feel make it suitable for use in luxury furniture. It is very hard and heavy, and you can enjoy its substantial presence when you hold it in your hand. When new, the horn is dark brown, but by applying wax and letting it age, it changes from a deeper brown to a color that approaches black, developing a beautiful luster. Light-colored hickory is used around the holes. Like wenge wood, hickory is a very hard and heavy wood, making it a good match. The Wenge wood model has a calming atmosphere and is recommended as an interior decoration. Please feel the high-quality texture for yourself.
[BEECH Features] Beech, known as Buna in Japanese, is one of the most commonly used woods for Kendama. At first, it has a light color with a pale pink tinge, but with use it gradually changes to a deeper color with a yellow tinge. It has moderate hardness and a uniform grain, and is characterized by its smooth texture and ease of handling. It is also highly durable and becomes more comfortable in the hand the more you use it, making it one of the best woods for Kendama.
[What is 5th shape?] The 5th Shape is larger, in line with current Kendama trends, with a 62mm ball size and a 75mm bowl width, further improving ease of use. We've deliberately eliminated distinctive design elements to create a classic and beautiful silhouette. It's a competitive shape that meets the standards of international competitions such as the Kendama World Cup (KWC), while still retaining its traditional charm.
TOKYO KENDAMA is a domestic Kendama brand that utilizes the unique characteristics of wood itself, with the theme of "growing a Kendama."
