[Ozora Matte] The matte, high-friction finish makes it easier to perform tricks like the lighthouse and moon landing than the regular Ozora. The color scheme makes it easy to see the ball's rotation in the air, making tricks easier to perform, and it's also easy to understand when demonstrating or teaching kendama tricks. The matte finish allows the ball to easily release from the hand when performing tricks such as jugs and swaps (air transfers), which have been adopted as compulsory tricks in recent years in Kendama Association competitions, successfully solving the weaknesses of traditional high-friction paints, such as "the friction of the paint gets caught on the fingers and disrupts the rotation" and "hand sweat makes the effect more noticeable."

The design improves ball control, which has been emphasized in recent Kendama Association competitions, without sacrificing friction, making this a highly functional kendama suitable for everyone from beginners to All Japan Championship level players.
