In stock in San Diego! Weight: 300 g. Price: $17.95
Product type: Japanese T-Shirt 100% Cotton (pre-shrunk) (What is this?)

School Days is an extremely popular anime based on a dating-sim game about a love triangle between Makoto, his girlfriend Kotonoha and his friend Sekai, which combines beautiful characters and an incredible complex (and fairly violent) story. The day before the last episode was to air, a girl killed her father with an axe, and fearing that the act might have been inspired by the show, replaced the last episode with classical music and images of a boat. The "Nice Boat!" is now a part of otaku history, and because we love to make esoteric things for otaku, we've made a limited-edition T-shirt to commemorate this really excellent boat. Show your opposition to censorship of anime with this great wacky T-shirt! Available in size S-XL, printed on athletic grey. Designed by AKwa.

STU027 Say it in Japanese 15 - Nihon e toki Jiten
Number in stock: 9 Weight: 200 g. Price: $14.50 Product type: Study Book (pocket size)
Beginners approaching Japanese language studies may be nervous about pronunciation. But there are few languges in the world as easy to pronounce as Japanese. Unlike certain Asian Languages, Japanese is not a tonal language. Unlike English, words have very little stress. So you will undoubtedly find that, with the hints given in this book, Japanese sentences are very easy to pronounce. When you learn even a few words of a different culture you are learning about the culture itself. A considerable portion of this volume shows you the connection between cultural aspects of Japan and the language of the people. We hope that this will make your study of Japanese more informative and enjoyable. A publication created by JTB Publishing (JTB being Japan's leading Traveling Agency), this pocket book of information goes into detail over sample conversations and useful expressions to accomplish what you need such as talking on the telephone, how to order food when eating out, expressions you would use during sight seeing excursions, how to get help when you're introuble; idiomatic expressions such as "Me o sara ni suru" ("Saucer Eyes" aka to open one's eyes widely in search for something or someone), "Te ga hayai" ("fast hands" or a womanizer); words to describe people, motion, and their emotions "Icha Icha" suru (a couple necking); plus tons more. Written completely in English with an index to help you find what you need quickly. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)


PHS196 Rakugo ~ Traditional Japanese Sit-down comedy
Number in stock: 5 Weight: 250 g. Price: $11.50 Product type: Culture Book
For many Westerners, comedy clubs feature stand-up comedians who talk about life through from their own humorous perspective. The traditional art of "Rakugo" is perhaps the closest equivalent in Japan, featuring a comedian/ storyteller, dressed in traditional robes and seated in front of their audience with props in hand to help accentuate their story telling. About 300 years old, Rakugo was originally written to teach people what would be laughed at in order to develop social knowledge, but quickly became a form of entertainment. Some English Rakugo comedy troops have even been established, helping spread the knowledge of Rakugo as part of the Japanese culture. This highly amusing book on Japanese comedy features typical stories told in Rakugo that not only are entertaining, but have wonderful, and often quirky insights into the human nature. Stories like "First Visit to the Shrine" about a father who reluctantly takes his son to his visit to the shrine, and "The Cat's Dish" about an antique collector who tries to swindle his way into getting a valuable ceramic dish that is used as a food dish for stray cats are among the uniquely Japanese stories included. Completely written in English and even has word list glossaries for anyone who is learning the Japanese language. An excellent supplemental text that's educational and entertaining. 110+ pages. 11x17 cm (4x7 inches). Written by Yukio Nakayama. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

If you're going to enjoy some delicious Japanese food, be sure and reach for the soy sauce, the most commonly used flavoring in Japanese food, found in more Japanese kitchens than salt.

In stock in San Diego! Weight: 300 g. Price: $18.95
Product type: Japanese T-Shirt 100% Cotton (pre-shrunk) (What is this?)

Japanese men are human, just like everyone else, and sometimes they have trouble controlling their inner urges. Here's a wacky T-shirt that warns people who see it to beware of "nozoki" -- peeping toms, who like to watch women secretly, in the bathroom and elsewhere. The text reads "Beware of Men Peeping" in clear, direct Japanese. Because the word "nozoki" is written with the hiragana writing system, it's someething that only Japanese can read or understand (it's illegible to Chinese, for example). A totally fun and wacky new design! This is a standard men's shirt in athletic grey, available in size S-XL. (More like this) (Direct link to this product) (SZS SZM SZL SZXL)

At J-List we love Elecom accessories. Smart, stylish and functional, their products have a wonderful simplicity to their design that make them exceptionally useful. This game pad is no exception to the rule -- a standard 8 button game pad that has a touch of retro and fits like it was personally made to be in your particular hands, modelled after Nintendo's original Nintendo Famiy Computer (aka the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES). This fits into USB slot and requires no drivers for Windows XP/2000/98/Me, and contains a super long 180 cm cord (approximately 6 feet) for playing with some distance from the screen. With four configurable fire buttons and two buttons on the top (all can do autofire), with auto and clear buttons as well, this game pad is easy to use. Comes to you in this classic Nintendo controller version for that retro feel. Another great game pad from ELECOM, the company dedicated to ELEgant COMputing. (Mac users may need to use a program such as USB overdrive in some applications. ) (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

Here's a great wacky kanji T-shirt that proclaims your affinity for Japan's mixed-bathing culture, featuring a kanji slogan that reads "I love mixed-bathing hot springs," with the normal "heart" shape cleverly replaced by the "onsen mark," a symbol that denotes Japanese hot springs.
