Ohn Myint is a traditional “Ywal” juggling master, with over 30 years of experience, who has passed down the disappearing art form to his 12-year-old granddaughter. The tradition is believed to date back to the early 19th century, when performers at the royal court started to juggle with balls made of blown, coloured glass, known as “Ywal”. Unlike conventional juggling, “Ywal” performers can only use their feet, knees, shoulders and elbows.
