One more reason to visit Japan in the near future.
Agreed! :beer1:
I'll just tell the hotel keeper I'm the cousin of the local english teacher who goes by Jim-sensei ;):rofl2:That should put thier mind at ease and allow a gajin to stay there.
Hi ZethLent,
I go to Japan once or twice a year on business-- which city is he in? I'd love to visit his shop.
Thanks,

I have taken some pics of the two strops I got from Kanoyama.
One is the Llama branded 70000. It is around 5mm thick and feels awesome.
The Pelican is just as thick and also has a distinct feel to it. Different from the cordovan.
Here are a few pics of mine.
In the box.

Up close. Notice on the Llama how it has his family name 'Naomi' in the cross centered between the words 'Sanitary Select'.

Very very nice!
hmmm...
The next time you intend on being in the area make a post here and see if anyone is interested in purchasing one on a serious level. PayPal some cash and then shoot back the cost of international shipping.
:shrug: I dunno. Just a thought.
*goes back to work.*
It is not a matter of being in the area, as I pass by twice a day during my commute to and from work everyday. It is all about timing and fitting it into my busy schedule. But I may pay him a visit again some day, and if I do I may pick up some extras and sell them to a few interested individuals.
WHy do I keep coming back to look at these pics 4-5 times a day??????
:confused:
:)
So very nice!
