    Does anyone know about Kendamas?



    It's a Japanese toy that suddenly became popular at my school, and it was the first time I heard about it, so I want to know if anyone else has heard of it.

    There are people playing with this often at juggling conventions. I think I met someone making a book on it the other day?

    i used to play it when i was in elementry school, but stopped after i learned how to 刺玉-landing it on the pike (i used a small one...)

    i still learned some other tricks like 飛行機, 運玉 and the what-ever-you-call-it landing on between the pike and the cup. but i have no interest in it

    this thing is more fun to do tricks with rather than it's impressive, people hardly get it if they didn't try it themselves, but anyway, soon i'm getting one biggrin.gif

    I beg to differ. If people are good enough, like the people I know, it is very, very impressive.
