Kendama

Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy that's been around for ages. This toy has three cups and a spike that fits perfectly into the hole on the ball. Basic kendama tricks involve catching the ball in the cups or on the spike. If you're feeling extra adventurous, you can try more advanced tricks like the airplane, where you have to hold onto the ball while landing the spike right into its hole. Kendama is similar to the classic cup-and-ball game, and it also bears some resemblance to a Hispanic toy called boliche or balero. These toys all share one thing in common: catching one object with another that's connected by a string. But what sets kendama apart from other toys of its kind is how much it draws inspiration from different skills like yo-yo tricks, diabolo spinning, juggling, and dance moves.
