Add a touch of Japanese nostalgia and refined craftsmanship to your interior or toy collection with this beautiful Narikoma – a traditional Japanese wooden spinning top that produces a characteristic singing sound while spinning.

"Narikoma" literally means "singing top". The sound is created by airflow through small openings when the top spins quickly. In Japan, these tops are cherished both as traditional toys and decorative objects due to their shape, colors and playful character.

This luxuriously finished top is entirely handmade by the renowned woodworking studio Yamaya Miyanoshita (箱根 宮ノ下 山屋) from Hakone. The glossy finish, deep black lacquer with elegant red and golden-brown lines, and traditional design make this top a true art object.

The top produces a characteristic singing sound ("nari") when spinning, a playful and musical effect that enchants both young and adult enthusiasts.

A toy with cultural value – a unique gift for collectors and an elegant decorative piece for a Japanese interior.

Be enchanted by the sound, motion and craftsmanship of this classic Japanese top – a timeless piece of toy art that connects generations. This piece has an attribution mark,
