Kyoto Spinning Arrow Top

A playful twist on a traditional style of top that was first introduced almost 1,500 years ago. The Arrow Spinning Top is a literal bullseye. Today, there is only one artisan left in Japan who is skilled enough to transform yards of ribbon into colorful, twirling teetotums. The fabric is wrapped around a bamboo stem by hand which makes each Kyoto Spinning Top unique. An ancient craft tradition revived for modern times.

Includes one random-colored spinning top. Made by Yoshiyuki Nakamura in Kyoto, Japan.
