Yamegoma 八女独楽 spinning top from Yame

. . . a somewhat flat spinning top called the Yamegoma. One of the characteristics of the Yamegoma is the belly button top!
According to Mr. Kazunobu Kumamoto, a 6th generation maker of koma, "I want to continue to grow my ability to make new tops". Mr.Kumamoto throws himself at his work by using the skill and techniques of making koma and wooden toys passed down to him. There are many young fans who appreciate Mr.Kumamoto's immense skill and refined designs. "I don't concern myself with superficial designs. I make these tops for children. I choose the best materials, and spend an incredible amount of time polishing the tops until I think they are of the highest quality.
