The trick lists are uploaded on to YouTube!



Can anyone tell me the English version of the trick names on Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 6???

Thanks!

[BKA]

Did you check the youtube description?

①天地二段　tenchinidan　heaven and earth
②うずしお灯台　uzushiotoudai Eddying Current Lighthouse
③太陽系一周　taiyoukeiissyuu around the solar system
④ピルエットつるし持ち piruettotsurushimochi　pirouette and catch
⑤胡蝶の舞　kochounomai Butterfly Dance
⑥とめけん持ち中皿金魚すくい～秘竜のぼりけん（地竜のぼりけん）tomekenmochicyuuzarakingyosukui~hiryuunoboriken(chiryuunoboriken) rising ground doragon
⑦二回転飛行機 nikaitenhikouki two turn airplane
⑧月面着陸 getsumenchakuriku　 moon landing
⑨掛け軸返しとめけん kakejikugaeshitomeken　 turning scroll painting pull up in
⑩スーパーフラミンゴ宇宙遊泳 suupaafuramingoucyuuyuuei 　　super flamingo spacewalk

But we might tweak some of them to:
2. Whirlpool Lighthouse
3. [Haven't seen this one before... is that a Slip Grip catch at the beginning, or a Clifftop?(Can't see)] Around The Solar System
4. Hanging Pirouette
6. (Ken grip) Base Cup Scoop Up > Curl > Spike

Thank you for the ideas!!

Yes of course I checked the YouTube and some of them does not make sense or are not commonly used in the western world (because these descriptions Mukai san perhaps tried to translate were directly translated from Japanese.. and English names for tricks use completely different naming so...)

These are helpful, BKA, thank you so much!

They can provide homestays for visitors, to save on the cost of hotels.

We will provide a contact email address soon. See below!

Oh, of course! thanks Yoko!
We were talking with Nakanishi-san and Hidenori-san yesterday about it. It would be great to go back.....

[Craftybuddy]

Yes please Void!! The cost may not be as much as you may think! Honestly!

The Tuesday the 23rd September is a national holiday and some JKA members are taking Monday off to make that weekend a long one, so they will be able to transport us wherever we go from Friday (arrival day) to Tuesday (the final - social day).

So far: -

Friday 19th: Please arrive at Osaka International Airport (KIX).  We'll go to an elementary school or such, and show kids what you do with kendama and play together.

Saturday the 20th: Pre-Festa event and freestyle gaming sessions with attendees (overseas players must attend this in order to be able to attend Festa's main competition Fujiwara Cup). Grading exams can be taken.

Sunday the 21st: The main Kendama Festa. Various tournaments including freestyle, by levels, etc.

Monday 22nd: Social event - going to Universal Studio attraction (theme park)

Tuesday 23rd: Going to Kyoto (sightseeing) - visit one of the ancient capital of Japan. Your Kendama will be so mixed well in the scene of typical, traditional Japanese scenes.

[Craftybuddy]

On the 23rd night is the farewell party / evening dinner.

All you need to pay for is your lunches and add hoc eating occasions in the evening. When you are eating at your homestay homes, the meals are free.

If you have any further questions, please ask!

Thank you!
