[About Edo Tops]Edo tops were born in the common districts of Edo during the Edo period. For approximately 350 years, they have been loved and nurtured by the common people to this day.The techniques have been passed down to the present day by woodturners who inherit the tradition.Through this process, the tops have become sophisticated in shape, ingenious in mechanism, and stylish in color, possessing a dignified style, with hundreds of varieties.
The appearance of a top with a single straight core running through its center is reminiscent of "maintaining integrity," "carrying out one's will," and "standing on one's own two feet." The way they spin beautifully has led them to be considered lucky charms, embodying the wish for things to go well.
Each top 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 tops that bring a sense of peace.
*ShippingAs these are made to order, it typically takes about 2 weeks from the time of your order.
[About the Makers]The tops are made in a workshop in the lush green Yugawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, by a master who inherited Edo top making from Master Masaaki Hiroi, and his disciple from Tobita.Everything from the tools to the tops is handmade.Demonstrations of the making process are held both in Japan and overseas.
