**About Edo Koma**
Edo Koma originated in the common neighborhoods of Edo (Tokyo) during the Edo period. For approximately 350 years, they have been loved and nurtured by the common people.The techniques have been passed down to the present day by woodturners who inherit the tradition.Through this process, they have become Koma with a distinguished style, featuring refined shapes, ingenious mechanisms, and stylish colors, with hundreds of varieties.
The appearance of a Koma with a straight core running through its center evokes concepts such as "maintaining integrity," "persisting in one's will," and "standing on one's own." The beautiful way they spin has led them to be considered lucky charms, embodying the wish for things to go smoothly.
Each Koma is handcrafted with care by artisans using traditional techniques, with the hope that the lives of those who hold them will spin well.We hope you enjoy these Koma that bring a sense of peace.
