These companies put all their soul in designing and making Koma (spintop) to participate in battles. The Koma (spintop) must have a diameter of 20mm or less, smaller than a one yen coin. These small Koma (spintop) are designed and created with highly sophisticated unique “in-house” manufacturing techniques from participants from all over Japan. Koma (spintop), are great because at first glance you cannot notice the initial quality, however they have been manufactured with professional precision. The Koma enter the ring against their competitor and collide with each to fight to determine the winner. This competition is designed to promote the prosperity of the manufacturing industry through competition of Koma showcasing skills and technology, as well as providing the opportunity for participating companies to promote their high professional skills to the world.”
