Maharu Mod - Maharu Tashiro's Pro Model

Hi, my name is Maharu, and this is my Pro Model for Lotus Kendamas: The Maharu Mod.

Kendama is a big treasure in my life that I found in elementary school in Osaka, Japan. I wasn’t good at anything, and I didn’t find anything interesting until I found Kendama. Kendama gave me a sense of accomplishment that I haven’t felt before. I am so happy to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional Kendama player for Lotus Kendamas. Thank you to my family and my friends who have always supported me.

Design

I designed this Kendama to be the best looking design in my eyes that also represents different elements in my life. The top blue color is lavender blue, which is my birth color. The red color is based off my birthstone, which is Ruby. Red + Blue = Purple, which explains the background swirl design and the shapes on the tama. I added the white stripe to support tracking.

Shape

I have created a brand new shape for my specific style of Kendama play. I’ve made the shape taller and a little thicker than the Lotus Element Shape, and I’ve sharpened the ring stall. This Kendama is designed best for lunars, stalls, and flips.
