Trivia
- In Japanese, "beigoma" merely refers to the spinning top itself, a top wrapped with a thin cord which is then quickly unwound to generate the required energy and momentum to spin.
- Beigoma are very similar to, and often conflated with, koma, a similar type of spinning top, to the point that "Koma Beigoma" is a common descriptor. The main distinction is that koma are made of wood whereas the later beigoma are usually made from some form of lead or cast metal.
