Easy to learn, impossible to master. This simple wooden toy has been around for hundreds of years. It's roots can be traced back to Japan in the 1800s where it was used as an educational tool in schools. Only around 20 years ago, athletes from all over the world started to pick it up to improve their dexterity and create a feeling of flow. Today, people from all walks of life play kendama and enjoy the unmatched feeling of good old play. It's fun, it's analog and it makes your life more playful.
It's in our nature to play and there are good reasons for that: reduce stress, unleash creativity and cultivate meaningful relationships. With kendama those things are at your fingertips (literally) - any time, any place.
Athletes use it before they go out to perform, doctors and therapists use it with their patients and others use it to recreate the feeling of flow they know from other sports in their daily life.
Experiencing flow is proven to make you more happy and successful. Our kendamas remove the barrier of entry and make it easy for everyone to enter this state.
We're all overwhelmed by the constant stream of information, media and communication. Kendama is a healthy escape that makes it easier to just be present in the moment. As a side effect, you will improve your psychomotricity, coordination and reflexes - just by playing.
