Kendamas Coming Soon!
New kendamas from 365 are coming first thing next year! A slight change to the timeline, but we are confident they will be well worth the wait. We are currently in the process of collecting all the media from the team, and can’t wait to show you what we’ve been spending all our time on.
Catch and Flow!
One of kendama's great competitions happened for the first time in-person in over 3 years. The Catch and Flow Freestyle World Championship went down December 11th in Tokyo, Japan. In our opinion, it was the most insane competition we’ve ever seen. The level of tricks the competitors were hitting on stage were of a caliber we’ve never seen before. Catch and Flow is so amazing to watch because the players are able to do whatever tricks they want, and can show their style and creativity.
Catch and Flow is also so special because many Japanese players are able to compete-unlike at NAKO.
And boy-it's Japan’s game these days. Years ago, freestyle kendama was ruled by players from the United States and Europe. No more. This year proved the game’s best players are residing in Japan. You could argue this has been the case since 2019, but this year’s Catch and Flow left no doubt which country is dominating kendama at its highest level.
Congrats to Shinnosuke Togo of Jac Kendama for taking down the massive win and showing us that age is just a number! World Champion at 14 years old. Insane! Shoutout to Yasu of Krom Kendama for snagging second place and absolutely shredding throughout all the rounds.
And we also want to give special recognition
to Takuya of KendamaISR for doing tricks
no one else in the world could do onstage (or off it for that matter).
