Japanese Culture icons
Traditional Japanese objects and customs — paper lanterns, folding screens, wrapping cloth, daruma dolls — along with old games like string figures, fukuwarai and hanafuda cards. This is the hardest area to find anywhere else. For tourism guides, Japanese-language teaching materials and Japanese-themed design.
