The ball may move quickly and unpredictably during practice.
Beginners should practice slowly in a clear, open area.
Do not swing the kendama near another person’s face or body.
Do not use the kendama if the spike or wooden body becomes cracked or splintered.
Repeated play will naturally cause scratches, dents, paint wear, cup marks, and changes to the spike and ball. These are normal signs of kendama use.

Store the kendama in a dry, well-ventilated place.
