| Look what I found! I went into a local manga shop crammed with books some weeks ago and asked about Mononoke. | The guy apologized
profusely that he didn't have the series in stock anymore because somebody
had bought all of them. (The somebody was actually Wasinee :-) But... |
...today I went back and he remembered me straight away and produced not only one of the manga, but also this sugoi hon (super-cool book). The pictures are exquisite! These kodama are so cute. One run of the shinkansen (bullet train) is also called kodama... echo |

prepares to do battle with Gundam combat robot outside the Gundam shop.
(I think the robot will win, Alan has a sore foot!) |
A great
little Gundam toy which Noriyo gave me for Chanukah (well she thought
it was for Christmas but I accepted it for Chanukah :-)

Whoohooh!
A model of an EVA from Neon Genesis: Evangelion... and it was on
special in the junk box! If anyone wants one there is also an orange EVA
there which I might collect when next I'm in Osaka. It'll cost you about
$20 AUD

The
'piece-de-resistance'... a yellowed but original copy of the The Ghost
In The Shell manga. (Published on my 21st birthday) A steal at 500
yen. Even a tray of sushi at the supermarket costs more than that!

A cute Doraemon diorama in which they are miniaturizing cities. Rod got this for me when I became a Japanese salaryman. |
