yuridama

Enjoy in the palm of your hand

Plastic beads move with a crisp sound inside a soft fabric.

"yuridama" is a Japanese otedama-style ball designed to provide a pleasant tactile experience—just by gripping or gently shaking it.

Because it uses thin and soft fabric, it is not suitable for intense outdoor juggling practice.

This is a prop meant to be slowly and deeply enjoyed, one ball at a time.

How to Play ①: Grip

Squeeze it tightly and enjoy the sensation of the beads moving with a gritty texture inside.

How to Play ②: Sway

Gently wrap it in your palm and sway it in a circular motion.

A pocket of air forms inside the yuridama, and the plastic beads move as if flowing through it.

How to Play ③: Roll

Open your palm and try rolling the yuridama on it.

As the ball itself rotates, the plastic beads inside move even more dynamically.

How to Play ④: Toss

As gravity pulls it down into your palm, the plastic beads sink inside.

The crisp feeling of it settling in your hand is reminiscent of a Japanese traditional otedama—comforting and familiar.

Story Behind the Product

The first step in juggling—“throw and catch”—can actually be quite challenging.

So I wanted to create a ball that would be fun even just to sway or roll in your hands.

What I discovered while making it was something unexpected: enjoying the feel of the ball naturally leads to wanting to throw it.

When I handed it to my son without saying anything, he naturally started tossing it. I was moved, thinking, "This might be the true beginning of juggling."

What makes this ball truly special is that it allows you to ease into juggling as part of everyday life.

Please enjoy the feeling for yourself.
