Our story

Designed locally. Played worldwide.

HI Kendama started where every island story does — outside, with friends, chasing that one trick until the sun went down. What began as a few hand-painted kendamas passed around the neighborhood grew into a small-batch brand with island soul.

Every kendama we make is finished by hand. We tune the tack, balance the wood, and pull our colorways straight from Hawai‘i — sunrise corals, deep-water blues, lava reds, koa browns. No two batches are exactly alike, and we like it that way.

Whether you grab yours at the shop or we ship it across the world, it leaves Hawai‘i carrying a little aloha. Mahalo for playing with us.
