Introducing ActiveCares – A Collaborative Project with Kendama Cares

We’re excited to reveal the first ActiveCares mod, a collaboration with @kendamacares. When Arque reached out with the idea of creating a kendama to support a cause, we couldn’t say no. And with April being Autism Acceptance Month, it’s the perfect time to share this special kendama with the world.

Design Details:
This setup features a maple wood ken paired with a beech tama, carefully weight-matched within 7g. The tama is highlighted with a yellow background and an infinity symbol at its center, representing diversity and inclusion for neurodivergent individuals. At the top of the tama, a red puzzle heart symbolizes love and unity, supporting the autism community. The bevel wraps with the words "Active Cares," and blue stripes reflect calmness, trust, and acceptance.

Shape and Features:
The tama is paired with either a Shinaji 1.0 or 2.0 shape ken, each engraved with "Active Kendama" on the small cup and "Kendama Cares" on the big cup, ensuring the words "Active Cares" face forward. The base cup stall is painted light blue for added tracking, featuring our exclusive hollowcore base cup for improved performance. To complete the design, the Active Kendama and Kendama Cares logos are intertwined, symbolizing the partnership behind this impactful project.

This kendama is not just sesh-ready, it also carries a meaningful message of inclusivity and support.

Supporting a Cause:
$10 from every kendama sold will be donated to @kulturecity to support autism acceptance and inclusivity. Let’s raise awareness and promote inclusive practices, not only in our kendama community but in society as a whole, where everyone is valued for who they are.
