| TRA012 Hariko Daruma -- Small *12cm* ~ Classic Type |
This item is in stock in Japan. Weight: 150 g. Price: $10.00
Product type: Traditional Japanese item
|
|
| The daruma doll is a well-known symbol in Japan as the universal bringer of luck and completion. Companies buy huge versions of these colorful wooden dolls (that are really nothing more than a head) costing thousands of US dollars. However, you can now own one of these cool guys (for far, far less) and attach them to your keychain to bring you good luck. Standing 12 cm (4.5 inches) tall, this guy comes without his eyes drawn in, and the word "Fortune" ("fuku") on his tummy. To "use" this guy, color in one of his eyes (right or left is up to you), and either make a wish or commitment. When that wish comes true, or you complete your task, color in the other eye. Traditionally these guys are burnt in a bonfire afterwards, but you can keep your daruma doll to remind you of your accomplishment! Great for passing tests, getting married, starting a company, or meeting any kind of goal you have.

Product type: shashinshu (photobook)
(What is this?)

|
| Many of us are familiar with the city scape and beauty of Japan, brave towering buildings reaching for the sky, temples with their simple aesthetic to bring people to peaceful thoughts, and the streets filled with neon lights to attract the wandering eye. However, few of us know the Japan that isn't meant to be seen -- the underground constructions that are made to keep Japan running, without trying to appeal to any aesthetic, just simple function. But to be sure, there are amazing sights to be seen underneath the concrete, and photographer Hideaki Uchiyama brings them to us, his camera giving us sights unseen and giving the dark corners special intriguing beauty. From corridors of pipes amid lights, to old tunnels used for movement of troops during the war, ventilation shafts, subway lines both forgotten and those under construction, man-sized icicles in a huge refrigerator... all powerful images from below the ground that the general public will never see. It's hard to imagine that these are not sets from some cyberpunk sci-fi movie but real constructions with a practical purpose. This is an incredible photobook with large pages, something to stir the imaginations of anyone who picks up this 160 page full color hardcover coffee table book. For photography fans and for anyone who has ever held a curiosity of Japan. An index in the back has explanations in Japanese where the photos are taken from which are just as amazing as the photos themselves. 13" x 10".

| KODA018 Jazz Up Your Japanese With Onomatopoeia For All Levels |
Number in stock: 2 Weight: 355 g. Price: $19.00
Product type: Study Item
|
|
| Onomatopoeia is one of the most outstanding features of the Japanese language. Its acquisition is essential for students who wish to speak (or understand) natural Japanese, read literature or manga, or watch anime in the original. The problem is that Japanese onomatopoeic words are so different from their English equivalents (words such as pop, bang, splat, and squeak) that they are extremely hard to remember and put into practice.
The book begins with an introduction that outlines what "onomatopoeia" means in both English and Japanese. It covers sound and meaning in general, onomatopoeia in English, sound symbolism in English and Japanese, Japanese onomatopoeia and mimesis, types of Japanese onomatopoeia, grammatical functions of Japanese onomatopoeia, Japanese written forms, and how new Japanese onomatopoeic words are formed (for example, in manga).
This introductory material is all-important, for without the overall picture it presents, students are forced to learn Japanese onomatopoeia by rote, one word at a time, as if each was unique unto itself, as if each had no logical connection with any other word, and as if Japanese onomatopoeia was a huge, ugly hodgepodge instead of the beautiful, well-organized microcosm that it is.
However, this introduction alone would not suffice to produce fluency. Onomatopoeia must be seen in action for that to happen. This is done in the second part of the book, which consists of eleven situational dialogues that allow students to eavesdrop on Japanese speaking the way they do in real life. The dialogues are given in Japanese script (with furigana over all kanji), romanization, and English translation. Each example of onomatopoeia that appears in the dialogue has its own commentary, including definitions, usage, and two or more sample sentences. Cultural notes are given when they help to clarify the situation presented in the dialogue. Each dialogue is followed by a quiz.
With its edifying introduction and lively dialogues, Jazz Up Your Japanese with Onomatopoeia: For All Levels will, without a doubt, help students come to grips with this intriguing aspect of the Japanese language, whether they be intermediate students who can benefit from seeing onomatopoeia used in a variety of situations or beginning students who, as they slowly add new onomatopoeia to their vocabulary, will profit from seeing how these words fit into a larger, fully developed scheme. The book will also, whatever the level, make Japanese much more fun to study.

Peter Says:
I've always been a huge fan of Ai Yori Aoshi, the story of Kaoru Hanabishi, who is betrothed to marry Aoi Sakuraba, the daughter of a wealthy family. This is a two-part game that takes you the story in fun new directions, featuring all the original voice actors, tons of animation, and even mini-games to enjoy!
One day, a beautiful kimono-clad young woman appears in front of college student Kaoru Hanabishi. Unbeknownst to him, the woman is Aoi Sakuraba, who has been his betrothed since they were children, an arranged marriage set up by their wealthy families. In the intervening years, Kaoru had cut ties to his family and its corporate group and cannot accept Aoi, but as he gets to know her, he's won over by her sense of devotion and her kind heart. Aoi sympathizes with Kaoru’s delicate plight and resolves to stay and live with him anyway. And so the young star-crossed lovers, both born with silver spoons in their mouths, start their new life together in Kaoru’s cramped apartment...
This is a dating-sim style interactive game for standard Windows computers. The game is an interactive anime game for Windows and presents dramatic interactive stories that everyone can enjoy. Features full-frame animation and fantastic artwork, and includes not one but two complete games, since you get the South Island Edition and Winter Lake Edition in this special boxes set. Suitable for ages 15 and up. A super title that all fans of bishoujo games should make sure not to miss! Also great for fans of cat girls.

| Kaoru Hanabashi. Kaoru is a student at Meiritsu University. Since his childhood, he has been groomed to be the next president of the Hanabishi corporate group. But after receiving a very strict education, he left the Hanabishi clan, and now leads a penniless life alone in a cheap apartment. He belongs to a photo club at the university. He is very honest and gentle. |
Aoi Sakuraba. Aoi was raised to be the bride of the son of the Hanabishi family. She is a daughter of the Sakurabas, a family that has become a major business conglomerate from a tradition of making kimonos. As the family heir, ordinarily Aoi’s husband would take over the family business. Aoi has been training to be a good wife since she first met Kaoru when she was small. As a result, even though she was born into riches, she is very good at housekeeping. She also truly loves Kaoru. |
|
|
|
| Miyabi Kagurazaki. Miyabi is Aoi's caretaker. She knows Aoi very well, and is well aware that Aoi has loved Kaoru ever since she was a little girl. Miyabi patiently watches Aoi and Kaoru together. She seems to act a bit cold toward them, but she is really a kind person with their best interests at heart. |
Tina Foster. Tina goes to the same university as Kaoru. She also belongs to the photo club. She is an American who grew up in Hakata and is energetic and outgoing. Still, she can't seem to express her true feelings honestly to Kaoru. |
|
|
|
| Taeko Minazuki. Taeko is a sophomore and also a member of the photo club, to which Kaoru and Tina belong. Though she is awkward and makes a lot of mistakes, she is always positive and tries her best. |
Chika Minazaki. Chika is Taeko’s cousin. She is an upbeat, active junior high school student. |
|
|
| Mayu Miyuki. Mayu was born into the family that operates the Miyuki Silk Company. She enters Meiritsu University after coming back from abroad. She also has been in love with Kaoru since she was a child, and ardently pursues Kaoru. |
