A Trompo or Whipping Top is a top which is spun by winding a length of string around the body, and launching it so that lands spinning on its point. If the string is attached to a stick the rotation can be maintained by whipping the side of the body. The string may also be wound around the point while the trompo is spinning in order to control its position or even lift the spinning top to another surface.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.plimoth.com/kids-corner/toys-games/wooden-whipping-top.html )〕 ==Etymology== These toys are popular in Latin America where the name ''trompo'' emerged, but there are very many different local names. Similar tops are traditional in Japan where they are known as komas. Most cities in Japan have a particular design for their koma, and the Mexican version may have been inspired by a koma. In Spain these toys may be called ''trompo'' or ''peonza'' or ''perinola'' or ''pirinola'' In Germany a ''Peitschenkreisel'' may also be called ''Doppisch, Dildop, Pindopp, Dilledopp, Triesel or Tanzknopf'' (roughly ''dancing top'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trompo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
