Description

This traditional wooden kendama is a catch cup and ball toy in pale natural wood, with a mint green ball tied on a length of white cotton string. It is the classic game of skill: hold the handle, swing the ball up and try to land it in one of the cups. The crosspiece carries a cup at each end, and the handle comes to a pointed spike for the trickier catches once the cups feel easy. Wood and cotton keep it simple and light, and at 17cm long and 6.5cm wide it sits comfortably in one hand.

We like it on a desk, a coffee table or a kitchen windowsill, ready for a few minutes of play between other things. It is a quiet, screen-free way to fill a tea break, and a good one to pass round when friends come over, because everyone wants a turn once the first catch lands. It is just as handy in the garden or the park on a dry afternoon, and it is light enough to slip into a bag for a day out. The soft green ball against the plain wood also looks good left out on a shelf between games.

The handle, crosspiece and ball are all wood, joined by cotton string fixed to the ball and tied around the crosspiece, so the ball always swings back to you. The wood is left pale and smooth, while the ball has a soft green finish. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. It comes in a windowed box with a rope carry handle, so it is an easy gift to wrap or simply hand over as it is, and we think it suits anyone who likes a challenge they can pick up in a spare minute.
