“SET EM UP SPIKE EM DOWN� The 2020 GT Winter Line is inspired by classic US military patches and tattoos. We believe that kendama can bring peace. The imagery in the collection has been modified so that all weapons have been replaced with kendamas.
For the past 7 years Grain Theory has been pushing the concepts of kendama manufacturing, fashion, and play. The goal is to create with out limiting ourselves to the norm. Always pushing into the unknown.

The concept of “Set em up Spike em down� comes from the goals we have set for ourselves. Big or small we all have unfinished goals that we strive for. 2020 will be the year we set em up and spike em down. Have it be a trick you have wanted to lace or a salary you have wanted to acquire. Go get it. Spike em down .
