KENDAMA Bank of Craft x Nishijin-ori x 430

■ Product Details

The "Bank of Craft" project has launched, aiming to integrate traditional crafts with creative arts and digital technology. The project seeks to leverage the power of new ideas to transcend the mere value of crafts as objects, promoting their use as tourism resources, solving regional issues, and creating new revenue streams for craft-producing regions, thereby fostering a regional ecosystem.
As the first phase of this project, a collaborative kendama featuring traditional Japanese craft design, "Nishijin-ori (Kyoto)," and "430 (Fourthirty)," a leader in kendama culture, has been released.
The kendama is designed for both beginners and advanced players, featuring larger cups and a wider ball hole. The ball is also rubber-coated to enhance grip, making balance tricks easier.
Made from soft yet substantial beech wood, both the feel and appearance will age beautifully over time.
It comes in a special paulownia wood box, making it a luxurious item that can also be enjoyed as interior decor in its box.
