A game of top-spinning(Koma in Japanese) is held in daughter's kindergarten at the beginning of January every year and she is practicing hard by herself to win the tournament in the rally.
The first photograph is a top-spinning(Koma) of which the daughter painted.
Children painted their favorite colors to the top(Koma) of the tree distributed at the kindergarten,so everybody like playing with their original top(Koma) which they made
I looked over that there seems to be a top(Koma) all over the world.
The top(Koma) was introduced into Japan from China through North Korea in Edo period and it was the popular playing for all people, the adults and children, especially for boys.My husband also often played with the top(Koma) when he was child with his friends. Now, we don't see children who play with the top(Koma).
If it hadn't been for the top-spinning rally at the kindergarten, children couldn't get a chance to play with the top.
She practiced it on the weekend at the kindergarten.
My daughter came to be able to turn the top for about one minute once every three times.
This is her friend's top.↓↓↓
Their painting colors their personality very clearly.
They compete who for keeping spin most to the last minute.
after all, the boy is much better than girl.
always the boy is very well when they play with it. why?? they can be easily completely absorbed in practice and play with like this plaything.
however, It is more greatly than the child who is doing the Nintendo DS(its Japanese children favorite game console) sitting on the park bench.
All children who had come today spun the top at the end of the practice.
They practice with each house between the winter breaks, and they attend the rally.
well, this time a teacher who wearing a pink shirt won for the competition that who keeping spin the top to the last minute.
This teacher is never content!! and she beat her students
