This is a full size yellow gloss 5-cup wood kendama by Surf Kendama. A cool surf twist on the ancient popular, extremely addicting art of Kendama. Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy. The ken has three to five cups (depending on the model) 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. More advanced tricks such as the airplane require you to hold the ball and land the spike in the hole on the ball. The main body of the kendama is called the ken. At one end of the ken is a spike, the kensaki. The ball, called a tama, features a hole drilled partway through, enabling it to be caught on the spike. The hole or ana, is chamfered allowing the ball to rest neatly on the cup rims and slip stop. The ball is connected to the ken with string. The origins of the game are obscure. Some think that kendama's origins is due to a necessity in hunting cultures for early childhood training of hand-eye co-ordination. It could also have spread to different cultures by ancient trade and commerce. (Learn more at Wikipedia).
