    hi Guys,
    I recently got into playing and picked up my first kendama while on vacation in Japan. Does anybody know what kind and who makes it? I've had it for a couple months but only in the past couple weeks have I gotten serious about playing. I picked up a Krom rubber and f3 Sweets the other day and the one I bought in Japan plays pretty similar to the Sweets.

    The text literally translates to "Everybody's Kendama".
    Might also mean "Kendama for Everyone".

    Something tells me this is a rebrand of the Shin Fujis, since losing their JKA cert.

    But i'd summon mister @maxdesu to clarify on this.

    Yea that's the new model from the company that made shin fujis. That one is made from keyaki, which is a very nice wood loved by many players

    How does the slip stop feel on those? It cuts in square on the sarado side by the looks of it.
