Wooden Spinning Tops from Hokkaido, Japan.

Small, wooden spinning tops.

Spins very well.
















Very famous studio, 45 years of making these tops in Asahikawa city, Hokkaido. Wood and a wheel is all it takes, and each piece is carved by hand.

















If you leave on top the coffee table, everyone is sure to pick one up and start spinning. I'm sure you did too, when

you were young.


















Watching the tops spin bring a sense of peacefulness.
















Dreidles for Chanukah!?

I played it often during new year holidays.
