Ball (tama) and body (ken) — every detail of this hand-crafted wooden kendama carries the mark of Wagatsuma-san. The turquoise finish moves between cool and warm without committing to either. 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. In turquoise, that restraint takes on an unexpected lightness.
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.
