Abstract

Abstract : "Koma" is a kind of spinning top toy. A spinning top is a popular play around the world and "Koma" playing is considered an auspicious activity in Japan. An axle attached to a circular and thick material is rotated by the motion of throwing with a string. If you use the right hand, the rotation mode will be clockwise. When using the left hand, the rotation mode is counterclockwise. The clockwise spinning top and the counterclockwise spinning top correspond to mirror images, and these enantiomers can be created separately via enantioselective synthesis.
