Spin The Tree Tops!

 As one of Japanese traditional toy, there is a Koma, which means a top. On New Year's Day, Japanese kids play a Koma since long ago. I would like to introduce a Koma shaped like a tree today. In my previous article, I introduced the apple Kendama that made by More Trees Project, which Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto leads. This Koma is also created by them as well.

 As you can see, this tree Koma looks like a trees in the forest when it's not in use, but when you play, it becomes a spinning top. This tree Koma is called a handstand Koma. If you spin it with the green part down, and while continuing rotate, it becomes upside-down and look like a tree spinning because of centrifugal force.

It's a simple but great idea, don't you think? With this top, kids will be delighted to play, and even adults shows smiles in their faces. Products that make people smile is always good.

If you held even a little of interesting, I recommend to play with Tree Koma. 

Thank you for reading.
