    Unusual, Unique, Novel, Different, Crazy, Interesting Kendama. Sometimes out and about or perusing the net I find some kendama I've never seen before. Here's a place where you can post your interesting finds.

    These were in a gift shop at Haneda Airport Tokyo and they're made of wood though they appear to be plastic.

    Oh yeah I saw these at Hanada airport a couple of days ago. Was tempted to get my youngest the Ninja one until I saw they cost more than the Ozora in the next shop along!

    Yeah I dont think I could pass on the Ozora if it was less than this, Ozora is just such a standard.

    One riddle:
    Why why did the chicken cross the road? To get from the base cup to the slip stop!

    The chicken joke reminded me of something (dark, and) humorous from a couple of days back, when my cousin and i were on the road.
    A live chicken supposedly fell off a truck carrying them, and subsequently became roadkill (presumably hit by a car).
    We avoided it, stared at it, and looked to each other in three seconds of silence and i blurted out "i guess we couldn't ask it why it crossed the road now, eh?".

    @htimSxelA Yep, that's one of the 2 Daiso models I've tried. The base cup is, um, challenging.

    Mt. Fuji kendama (I know it's more like a bilboquet but they call it a kendama.)

    Since it's now Year of the Dog thought I'd post these from a blog post I ran across the other day.

    This kendama was made using a special technique popular with puzzle boxes from Hakone, Japan.
