Ashigaru:
The Ashigaru were foot-soldiers employed by the samurai class of feudal Japan. In the Sengoku era of war there were more than just Samurai with big family names participating. Those famous Samurai may be the most revered, but at the end of the day it’s the front lines, the foot soldiers, with the biggest courage of all that carried the weight of the battles. The Ashigaru.
This is a yo-yo with a beautifully simple design with a fast lightweight feel and a comfortable shape to fit any style. The thick rims provide amazing spin power and stability that, when paired with the light weight, creates a really unique play experience.
Hattori:
The Hattori is probably the most extreme design in the Sengoku lineup. The holes cut into the yo-yo are not cosmetic and they are not some gimmick; They are there for weight distribution and paired with the stainless steel rings they offer some of the best rim weight you can achieve in yo-yo design! The perfect blend of aesthetics and performance!
The cutout design also provides less resistance when changing position, especially in horizontal play, which gives the Hattori an extremely stable and maneuverable feel through complex combos. The Steel rings give it a serious spin power to compensate the air resistance generated from spinning, which makes a pleasant wind noise in play that makes it that much more fun to throw! AND, thanks to the cut-out design, the yo-yo is see-through in play!
