Shin Fujis dead?

[Greg the Strangler]

The kendama.de site says that Shin Fuji's are no longer being produced. Is this true to anyone's knowledge?

Hey Greg,

as long as i play kendama the Shin fuji kendamas are still in production,
they keep coming with new models each year.
here you can by them for low price now,
the wood grains are the best in my opinion, because the paint of the red, blue and black are very hard and slippery.

As I understand it... Oozora Co. resumed production of the Shin Fuji.
E.G. Oozora Co. produce both: Oozora and Shin Fuji kendamas.

Also, on kendama.de they have limited stock of their Shin Fuji's and some of the stock includes rare models with the original JKA competition seal; the gold, silver and rokurosens, instead of the recommended product seal.

the original JKA competition seal shin fuji's are still in production, the factory is from the brother of yuji (oozora factory owner).
i don't know why Kendama.de have mention it on the website.
maybe they have old ones but they are not rare.
If somebody proves i'm wrong i have to kill my imformer.

Shin Fuji maker's owner is the brother of Oozora maker's chairman who is the grandfather of Yuji. And yes ShinFuji models are still produced and available.
JKA stickers, however, are now "recommended" and Shin Fuji models are no longer having "approved". The "approved" stickers were only applied to few tens / hundreds  (don't know exactly how many).
KendAlex is right in saying that they are not rare.
Hope this clarifies.
