I got it for my son but he got a rubberized one instead and did not want this one. It's made with beechwood. I got it at a kiosk at the mall. It was made in China.
There is no brand name. This came directly from China before someone put there name on it. It's a middle of the line KENDAMA . The paint will chip with use as all Kendamas do and the wood will chip if dropped hard on the ground. It's a nice looking Kendama that is in good shape and works well and comes with an extra string and bead.
