About Kendama
The kendama is a traditional Japanese game which itself is based upon the French game 'Bilboquet' meaning 'cup and ball'. Bilboquet was one of the first real toy crazes in the early 1700s (the word bilboquet itself dates back to around the 11th century). Originally a cup and ball, bilboquet soon evolved into a ball with a hole in it and a spike to catch it on.Until recently it was rare to see a kendama in the UK but with the recent launch of TeamKD and the support of the British Kendama Association the scene is set for kendama to take the UK by storm
