2021年に発表したWaveは大変な人気を博し、再販のリクエストが絶えませんでした。MUGEN MUSOUのINFINITYシリーズは更なる進化を目指し、他にはないものづくりを行い、唯一無二な趣木ブランドであり続けたいという強い思いを胸に、今回バージョンアップした「New Wave」が誕生しました。
コンセプト：
これまで仕口の技術などを取り入れ、従来のけん玉業界にはなかったアイデアを世に送り出してきたINFINITYシリーズですが、今回のモデルでは5種類の木材を使用し、進化した木工技術を駆使して新たな表現を生み出しました。
「New Wave」は新しいトレンド、動き（ムーブメント）、流れを意味しています。1つの小さな波が、次第に大きな波になり世の中を変えるうねりになるように、New Waveきっかけに、もっと多くの人々がけん玉を楽しめる世界になって欲しいという願いや、従来の枠組みを打破し、けん玉業界に新たな波を起こしたいという願いがこめられています。

The Wave, released in 2021, was extremely popular and requests for a resale were endless. MUGEN MUSOU’s INFINITY series aims to evolve further, create unique products, and with a strong desire to remain a one-of-a-kind wood brand, the upgraded “New Wave” was born.
Concept:
The INFINITY series has previously incorporated jointing techniques and other ideas that were not available in the traditional Kendama industry, but this model uses five types of wood and uses evolved woodworking techniques to create a new expression.
“New Wave” means a new trend, movement, and flow. Just as one small wave gradually becomes a big wave and becomes a swell that changes the world, we hope that the New Wave will be a catalyst for more people to enjoy Kendama, and that we hope to break the traditional framework and create a new wave in the Kendama industry.

How to Assemble:
This kendama can be disassembled into 4 parts: Ball, plate body, sword tip, middle grip plate
There are 2 holes in the body and a hole through which the string is passed.
Pass the string from the top of the ball through the half-circle slit and tie the knot.
Pull the string a little and insert the tip of the sword into the plate so that the groove dug in the tip of the sword comes to the string.
A screw is attached to the tip of the sword, so it can be combined with the part of the grip middle plate.
At that time, the screws are tightened by rotating the middle plate of the grip (clockwise).
Rotate it in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) to loosen the screw.
Tighten until the groove dug in the tip of the sword is hidden. Also, there is a logo on the middle plate of the grip, so tighten it until it disappears.
Tighten until both marks are hidden and do not over tighten. Over-tightening may cause damage.
Tips for when the toe tip does not come off:
Place the detached support parts on a flat floor.
Place the upper part on top of it so that the screws are not misaligned.
Put your palms on both sides of the body and apply your weight vertically from directly above to push up the toes.
Pull the toe straight with your finger to remove it.
After replacing the parts you like, insert each part so that the letter part is facing the front, and turn the lower part clockwise to assemble.
