Hello all,
This summer I stayed in Brittany with a French family for a week and played kendama with them (of course!). As a leaving gift they gave me a traditional bilboquet, which was actually a wedding gift to them(!) when they got married. It's a lovely brown hardwood, in great condition and as I've moved away my father is selling it on ebay. There's one bid already, have a look if you're interested - a lovely collector's item!
