2-Kendama
Kendama is wooden toy which called “cup and ball” in English.
Actually Kendama is invented in Europe and reached Japan by way of China during the Edo period(1603-1867).
You play by tossing the ball in the air and catching it in one of the two cups.
You can also catch it on the spike, since the ball has a hole where the spike can go in.
3-Ohajiki
It is small flat…like a coin made of glass.
In the past,it was used shells, pebbles and nuts.
This is girls’ play mainly.
