Kendama


Kendama is a Japanese game of skill. 

It is similar to the French bilboquet, the Spanish balero, and in English-speaking countries it is also called ball-in-a-cup.

Despite a multitude of variations, the principle of the game is always the same: 
catching an object attached to a string with a stick or a bowl. 

The Japanese kendama differs in that its structure offers a far greater number of trick possibilities.
