Lets see your Kendama collection.
I only have a few, but im sure there are people out there with loads of great ones.
Here is mine so far:

Have you tried opening and playing with one yet?
Kendama is more fun to play than it is to see.

[cgmarshall]

Yes, of course i do. I have about 6 i play with. I'm addicted to playing with Kendama's.

Just I can admire the history and craftsmanship that goes into making them too. And I personal think they are beautiful to look at.
I don't see any difference from someone who makes a surf board by hand, lots of people would describe them as works of art.

[AlexSmith]

Very true! haha
By the way, those Oozoras with the white packaging are quickly becoming somewhat collectible, in case you weren't aware. Worth hanging on to.

I'll see if I can post some pics of my collection soon

Kendama Collection April 2012 by samuelrbradley

Here is mine as it stood after the BKO. Left to right:

Muji kendama - £1.80 bargain and impossible to catch in the cups
Kendama USA Colin Sander Pro Model - slightly defaced by an unknown artist
Blue Yumu
Natural Shin Fuji - One of my favourites
Red Deathray Fugen - An excellent late night purchase
Red TK16 - My first and only just retired
Gold Dragon Oozora - Won in sitting down K-E-N after the BKO
White Sunrise - My current take everywhere kendama
Green Oozora - The white package my kendama of choice in 2011
Red Taiyo - Won in the beginners division at the BKO in 2010
Purple Rokurosen - Probably my favourite for looking at
Sky blue Oozora - An old stringless friend
Seafoam Sweets Kendama - Smells really nice
Also a green Oozora in package won in the moshi kame at the 2011 BKO and a yellow Oozora (not pictured) staying fresh for the EKO.

You may be able to spot my copies of "Spike!" and "Knees!" in amongst the books too.

^ how long ago did you get your hands on the Deathray? I've been waiting on mine for about... 8 months now?

I think it was about March time. It travelled the 5000 odd miles to me pretty quickly too! It's a cool thing to have and non-kendama people seem to like it.

That red play kendama looks like a mini size. Or has it been played extensively?

I'll try to get my 'collection' up in a couple of days, I live in two places at once so my collection is scattered...
