Ce type de toupie divinatoire a été introduit pour la première fois il y a près de 1 500 ans. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste plus qu'un seul artisan au Japon capable de transformer des mètres de ruban en toupies colorées et virevoltantes. Le tissu est enroulé à la main autour d'une tige de bambou, ce qui rend chaque toupie de Kyoto unique. Une tradition artisanale ancienne revisitée pour les temps modernes.

Disponible en 4 couleurs et tailles variées. Fabriqué par l'artisan traditionnel Yoshiyuki Nakamura à Kyoto, au Japon.

Kevin E. ★★★★★

The way the ribbon catches the light as it spins is mesmerizing—I’ve been practicing for hours. Each top feels balanced perfectly, and it’s amazing knowing they’re made by the last skilled artisan in Japan.

Leo ★★★★★

Bought this as a gift and ended up keeping it for myself. Watching the ribbon unfurl into a blur of color when it spins is genuinely mesmerizing, and you can feel the craftsmanship in the balance. Knowing there's only one artisan left in Japan doing this makes it feel special.

Claire ★★★★★

The ribbon work on this is unreal, I keep picking it up just to watch the colors blur when it spins. Knowing there's only one artisan left in Japan making these makes it feel like a real keepsake, not just a trinket. Gave one to my niece and now I want a second for myself.
