More Use, More Tasty, The Kendama Apple


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.
