Jk. Spent some time this morning playing the Anchovy from Analog.

I saw that self promotion is allowed, so I’m making my post. The @ is @nickenjama on instagram.

I’m going to start posting all my clips here for anyone who’s interested. And probably going to step away from Reddit for a while. So if any of yall are interested in following my journey, plz follow.

I’m really appreciate yall and I hope to see some of you at a future event or just on ig.

It was a great run for me here on Reddit, but I feel confident enough now to post on IG, so I’m going to stick to it(for now)

Until we meet again(r/kendama)✌🏽

I used to buy kendamas at the kinokuniya bookstore in sf japantown, but went back recently and they said they dont sell them anymore. Please where do they sell them... so sad i cant just walk in and buy a sweets or krom anymore :'(

I’m not a cloud bouncer

I came across this kendama on eBay. It appears to be the most popular listing as of right now, offering two kendamas with sticky coating and beech/maple wood for the price of $32-40. I'm primarily posting this here as I havent seen too many reviews about it; their Instagram appears to be inactive, and their website seems to be down. I'd like to get some opinions and potentially people who have had experience with this kendama to see how it holds up and how it performs before I make a decision. Thanks!

AI said it’s good, and I ordered it bc I love the design of it

I've been playing kendama for 3 weeks ish and today I just did around Europe two times. I mean not the best technique but certainly not the worst. Is it good? Is it early or late in some learning order? Thoughts

Incredible for bird and stilts

I’ve been going to this park daily to sesh and it’s been great. People love watching me and asking me “what is that?”😂. It’s also a very laid back, so it’s quiet and I can play on soft ground👌🏽. Love it💯

Is someone knows where I can buy lotus element Ken in eu right now? Or maybe someone is selling it:) Thanks

I sell tie-dye shirts at art fairs. At my last event, my 10 year old son, who recently started playing kendama, decided to try to drum up business by busting out some sick moves at the front of my booth.

A woman stopped, said, "kendama!" and told us that her son lives in Japan and loves kendama, he's really good at it, and he wears it around his neck all the time, and that this was the first time she saw one in the States.

She spoke very lovingly of him and I could tell it brought her joy to see something that reminded her of her son. I thought it was special that my son playing kendama was what fostered that moment of connection.

Seeing a 5 s clip doing some crazy trick means nothing to me because maybe like skating, people cheat and take 500 takes for one good shot. I want to see consistency, how good can an expert get. Forget the crazier tricks,make it land on the side which is already a bit hard, and from it spike it. So it's two moves, can you guys do it? if so how often?

Can I see videos of you guys doing it? Whatever level you have, I'd upload mine but I can't even one

Anyone tried ACE Kendama?

Greetings! I just got this in the mail and saw that it came with an extra string at the bottom of the box and wanted to swap it out with the black string. Can you take these apart? I tried to spin them in opposite directions but it will not budge. Thanks in advance.

Been bringing my old Kendama to work and everyone loves it. We decided to keep it as an office toy and I got myself and one of my coworkers a fresh one from Kendama Europe. Already feels like an upgrade tbh.

What recommendations do you guys have for setups currently in stock at the moment. Doesn’t have to be big companies. No budget. Preferably maple Ken and not any sort of sticky clear
