I've just had word from Yano-san that this year's World Kendama Championship is on July 14th.
I don't know if I'll definitely be able to go this year, but I'm going to try really hard to. I'm sure that I speak for all the foreigners who went in saying we had an absolutely great time last year. I encourage everyone who loves kendama to get the hell over there if you possibly can.

For those who are newish to the scene, my blog of last year's event starts here:

If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

I'll be in Japan beginning of April. I guess that's too early for the festival and I'm sure I won't be there in July.
But Toulouse is getting more certain :)

My plan is to head to this event, hopefully everything comes together and I can make it! Should be an amazing time!

Have a fantastic time, Alex. Alas, I think the closest I will get to this year's event is being on the poster. :-/

Searching Youtube for "kendama festa2013" throws up last year's set of trick videos, although they all now have "2013" in the descriptions. Get practising!

I'll have to take a look at the tricks, though I must admit I probably won't practice that seriously. I'm more interested in attending to see old friends and make some new ones, and to see what a Japanese event is all about. Keith is planning on attending as well, I'm sure he'll give the eastern players a run for their money.

Fun fact: July 14th is my birthday. Hooray!

If you have any questions please let me know.

Are anyone who is going / visiting going for a homestay?? If so, please contact me - I have something to tell you   ;)

Enjoy your trip!!
