Here are some pics of a one-of-a-kind kendama, which I have nicknamed the Ninja. It is an Ozora which had a custom paint job by the manufacturers. 4 only were made for a charity auction (held at EJC, 2011) in aid of victims of the Japanese earthquake/tsunami of 2011:
1. All black.
2. All red.
3. All yellow.
4. All blue, with white stripes around big/small cup rims.
This is the one I bid for and got. Click the picture for the gallery

No, it's not for sale.
Really, really cool, Void! I saw those 4 kendamas in photos and wondered what the backstory was, I figured there might be some kind of history.
I like how they did an all-black one even though they don't produce black Oozoras (excluding use dragon specials).
that kendama is for certain very pretty and unique thanks for sharing !
awesome
Have you dared to use it?

Ha! I only took it out of the packet to photograph it.
Use it? What a crazy idea! :) I purchased it as a piece of artwork, not as a toy.

That's what I thought, using it should be sort of a crime :) but you unpacked it!!
Don't worry, it's safely back in its packaging now, and resting on my mantlepiece.

Thanks for the thought, but I think I'll keep it "as new".
