Sasebo Koma (Spinning Top) Painting Experience
Sasebo Koma, also known as "Sasebo Spinning Top", is a traditional craft and game that is still played to this very day. At the Sasebo Koma Honpo store, you can purchase both traditional and modern designs made by the owner, or design and paint your own spinning top. In addition, learn how to master the throwing technique from the owner, and compete with friends and family to see who can spin the spinning top for the longest.
