MUGEN MUSOU INFINITY: NEW WAVE Keyaki
The New Wave kendama is designed with various innovations to help users maximize their abilities.
Tama
The tama features two types of wave patterns created using traditional Japanese woodworking techniques, making it easier to visually recognize the rotation speed. Additionally, the tama size has been increased to 61.5 mm, and heavier beech wood is embedded inside to balance the weight.
Big and Small Cups
To facilitate tricks and accommodate the larger tama size, the big and small cups have been modified to their largest sizes ever. Despite these changes, the beautiful, distinctive kendama shape is maintained.
For the first time, traditional Japanese woodworking techniques have been incorporated into the big cup, enhancing its position visibility and potentially improving trick execution.
Base Cup
The base cup features holes inspired by splashing water to adjust weight balance, making tricks like lunar easier to perform.
As with the CHIGIRI and subsequent INFINITY models, the base cup is slightly larger, with a gently curved rim to fit comfortably in the hand.
Interchangeable Parts
A key feature of the INFINITY series is the ability to interchange four parts: the tama, sarado, ken, and grip, allowing for a customizable experience. (INFINITY tip replacement kit sold separately)
We work closely with materials, carefully considering wood grain directions, and assemble each part accordingly. By envisioning the final finish, we align the wood grain before processing, enabling us to match grain patterns across different woods while preserving the natural beauty of each wood's grain.

Assembly Method
This Kendama canbe broken down into four parts.(Tama, Sarado, Spike, Grip)The sarado has two holes, a through hole and a string hole.
Pass the string from the top of the tama through the half-round slit and tie a knot. Pull the string slightly and insert the spike into the sarado so that the engraved groove on the tip of the spike comes to the part of the string.
A screw is attached to the spike, so it can be combined with the grip. To do this, turn the grip clockwise to tighten the screw or counterclockwise to loosen the screw. Tighten until the engraved letter/logo on the spike is covered. Do not over-tighten to avoid breakage.
