Participants are children from nine years old to adults, Vietnamese, and foreigners. They were taught basic Kendama techniques by master Imada Hiromu, President of the Japan Kendama Association in the Shikoku Area, and members of the Kendama Club Vietnam.

Kendama is a wooden skill toy that comes from Japan. It strengthens hand-eye coordination, balance, and reflex. It can be played by young and old alike. The Kendama is made up of the “Ken” (handle) and the “Tama” (ball), which is connected by a string. The Kendama tricks are done by variations of juggling the ball in the three cups, spiking the ball with the Ken spike, and balancing both in new creative ways.

General information about Kendama was explained to attendees.
