Japanese traditional toy, Kendama(bilboquet, cup-and-ball), is being loved since long time ago in Japan. Even though Kendama is a toy, there are a number of tricks to play. For instance, you can stab the sword by the rotation of the sphere, and also you can put the ball on the "dish" located in three places, or, on the contrary, you can stab the sword to the sphere, thus the skill is different. The is Kendama Championship held in Japan because of its population.
Let me introduce you an interesting Kendama, an apple Kendama.This apple Kendama is invented by Japanese forest conservation organization called "more trees" under a thought of "greens to the future of children." "more trees" is an organization established by a Japanese musician Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto with a concept of "more trees in the world." Now that deforestation has progressed on a global scale, climate change has become significantly, what can we do? The missions of "more trees" are to plant the trees, grow them with health, to build sustainable local activity through reforestation, and to contribute to long term global environment.
The original products of "more trees" are hand made by forefront designers under a concept of "Wander Forest."
