Ball (tama) and body (ken) — every detail of this hand-crafted wooden kendama carries the mark of Wagatsuma-san. The emerald finish moves between stillness and intensity: saturated, clear, unmistakable. No two pieces are alike.

Wagatsuma-san is a master of the Togatta style — one of the most reduced schools in Kokeshi art. No unnecessary stroke, no gesture without weight. The emerald sits as if the wood itself had called for it.

Dimensions and proportions follow the competition size standard of the Japan Kendama Association (JKA). A serious instrument for those who require precision — and an object that holds its ground even when it is not in your hand.

Features

  • Hand-painted by Wagatsuma-san — every piece a unique work, signed by the artist
