This style of fortune-telling top was first introduced almost 1,500 years ago. 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.

Available in 4 assorted colors and sizes. Made by traditional artisan Yoshiyuki Nakamura in Kyoto, Japan.
