この占い用の独楽のスタイルは、約1500年前に初めて紹介されました。現在、日本で何ヤードものリボンをカラフルでくるくる回る独楽に仕立てられる技術を持つ職人は、たった一人だけです。竹の軸に布を手で巻き付けるため、京都スピニングトップはそれぞれが唯一無二の一品となります。現代によみがえった、古くからの伝統工芸です。
4色、各種サイズをご用意。京都にて伝統工芸士の中村義之氏が製作しています。
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.
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.
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.
