Kaizen Natural - Jet Shape - Oak
There is a unique satisfaction when you play a natty Kendama. This minimalist setup allows the natural grain and beauty of each wood species to shine. Our oak wood Kendamas are known for their strength and unique grain patterns; marked by rays and flecks that give them their distinct almost scratchy look. Oak Kendamas are very dense, highly durable and typically harder and much heavier than maple. They also have a nice natural color that darkens over time with use and exposure to sunlight. This oak Kendama features the jet shape and is a must-have for the purists out there looking to add to their collection or sesh another species. Oak wood tends to be dense resulting in a very heavy weighted setup.

KAIZEN is the Japanese philosophy of constant improvement. We’ve applied this concept to our production process, aiming to improve every product that we put our name on. Each part of the Kaizen Kendama has been meticulously thought out by the Kendama USA team, making enhancements with the future of Kendama play in mind. The result is an affordable, premium Kendama specially crafted for the serious enthusiast.
The Kaizen Kendama features a 3 piece construction with traditional Japanese style handle assembly. We have updated the Ken shape for precision balance, and the tama bevel has been widened for enhanced play. We've intentionally set our starting spike length shorter out of the box. This allows the sarado to settle over time, eventually bringing the spike into an ideal length after a few sessions without going past the "point of no return."
