On the 7th of May 2023, Asia2Buy held a Kendama event where anyone could try to play the Kendama for free. Many shoppers stopped by to try playing the traditional Japanese Toy and some were even interested in the professional classes held by Mr. Conan himself!
Overall it was a fun event and everyone that had tried it out had managed to get the ball into one cup or even do harder tricks with the Kendama.
