Made and designed in the USA, the Flatpack Kendama is lasercut from a single flat piece of 1/8″ Birch wood and packed in a very cool hand-screened record sleeve. This Kendama has a really unique look when assembled, but it’s still a kendama and it is designed to be played!
It is worth noting, though, that the Flatpack Kendama construction naturally makes it lighter & more delicate than traditional kendamas. For this reason, we ask that you take care during assembly & while attempting risky tricks.
