{"product_id":"st-kend3","title":"Daruma Kendama – Yajiro Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Daruma Kendama that is both playing object and lucky charm. Kijidokoro Sato, rooted in the Yajiro region since the Meiji era, brings two craft traditions together in a single object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ken – the heart of the kendama – is shaped as a Kokeshi body in the Yajiro style: rich red, black Rokuro-Moyo lines, conical and precisely turned. The base cup carries an additional Daruma motif – a quiet repetition of the theme that runs through the entire piece. The two sakazuki are left natural: pale wood as a deliberate contrast to the luminous red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tama – the ball – shows a fully painted Daruma face. Dominant red, strong black eyebrows, a bushy moustache and flushed cheeks. At the centre is the character 福 – fuku, good fortune – in gold. The gaze is weighty and focused. No smile. Only composure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japanese culture, Daruma symbolises perseverance, willpower and the ability to rise again after every fall – qualities that also define kendama play. The kendama falls. The Daruma stands up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kendama fully conforms to the Competition Size established by the Japan Kendama Association (JKA). This makes it suitable not only as a collector’s piece, but also for advanced players who value professional proportions and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDaruma Kendama in the Yajiro tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKen as a Kokeshi body: red Rokuro-Moyo turning, Daruma motif on the base cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTama as a Daruma head: 福 character in gold, Yajiro painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNatural sakazuki – Mizuki wood with visible grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompetition Size according to JKA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-turned and hand-painted – by Kijidokoro Sato, Miyagi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSigned by the artist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eKen height\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003e160 mm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eTama diameter\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003e60 mm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eSarado width\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003e70 mm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eBig cup inner diameter\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003e40 mm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eSmall cup inner diameter\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003e36 mm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eBase cup inner diameter\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003e34 mm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Hideyuki Sato | 佐藤英之","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64775118029149,"sku":"ST-KEND3","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/3814\/9981\/files\/st-kend3_cover.png?v=1779711338","url":"https:\/\/punkeshi.com\/en\/products\/st-kend3","provider":"Punkeshi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
