its from a kendama forum. the kendama is that wooden microphone looking thing to the left of the 404 sitting sideways. its a wooden toy. super fun. yoyo meets juggling meets freestyle
i'm not around them that much, i could get them at the dollar store though if i wanted...
kids nowadays play dsi, psp or the like; so no i never really see them around. they make me mad bc they are so hard to master. the japanese tops are the same way. well the tops are called yo-yos and they use a string but it's only to launch it with.
they're fun but just hard to do, then again thats half the fun i guess. just like learning gear.
jbl: i will send you american whatever you want if you can send me an equal amount of japanese kendama "stuff"... im pretty serious. a kendama (the real deal JKA certified) go for 20 dollars plus shipping. it would be rad to see what you have available at the dollar store. it might be fun to see what you find and what you may want from me... haha.. if youre remotely interested hit me up it sounds like an adventure.
