Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask us at the shop, in one place.

Do you carry Sweets Kendamas or KROM Kendamas?

At this time, we primarily carry our own brand, HI Kendama.

HI Kendama is a Hawai‘i-based brand that has been designing and promoting kendamas since 2014. Our newest models feature a custom anti-skid matte paint designed to improve grip and help players land tricks more consistently.

Do your kendamas come with a long or short string?

Our kendamas come standard with a long string.

Long strings are preferred by many players because they make advanced tricks — such as juggles, swaps, and string-based combos — much easier to perform.

How much do your kendamas cost?

Our latest HI Kendama models are $30 each.

Each kendama features our custom anti-skid matte paint, premium construction, and Hawai‘i-inspired designs.

Do you carry any other brands?

Yes!

In addition to our signature HI Kendama line, we also carry Mugen Musou, widely regarded as one of the highest-quality kendama brands in the world.

Mugen Musou kendamas are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Hatsukaichi, the birthplace of modern kendama. Their craftsmanship, balance, and quality make them a favorite among serious players and collectors alike.

Are your kendamas good for beginners?

Absolutely! Our HI Kendama models are designed for both beginners and experienced players. The anti-skid matte paint provides extra control, making it easier to learn foundational tricks while still performing well for advanced play.
