I'm trying to keep spreading the love to the DS supporters by selling some of my collection and getting it out around the world and the community... I have all four of the JKA Shin Sakura colors and only play the wood one, so I'm throwing these up here. Shin Sakuras have an interesting feel, a bit softer than most JKA kendamas and with more rounded / curvy features. I believe the Shin Sakura wood is birch? but a different type / feel than TK birch, but close. more pale IMHO. anyway, these are the two setups. The blue is basically 100% and extremely honed. This one I wanted to wear in and make a go-to setup, but I haven't started on it yet. The red has been played slightly more, but has a nice softness to it and is still very fresh. Both of these setups are really rare and yeah, if you are looking to add a Shin-Sak to the collection this is a good chance. The blue's tip is basically un-touched (there are two or three missed spike marks on the tama but delicate / small) and the red is worn lightly on the tama, and the tip has been glued but is sturdy / fresh / rounded. I think that $225 is reasonable for the blue and a good deal for how fresh it is... and $125 for the red. Both seals are in good condition / no scrapes or wear, and the overall balance of both setups is on point for playability. OK! shoot me a PM or a reply here if you are looking to collect ! -Colin
