i ♥ japanese craft books!!
Okay, so I am still on a Japanese spree because I'm beyond smitten with it all! If you want my undying love buy me a handmade ZAKKA craft book. You might recall this one I bought back in April while in San Francisco. It's my absolute favorite craft book to date!
Today I went to the Japanese Amazon and searched for more handmade ZAKKA and other craft books recommended. Unfortunately international orders take 3-4 weeks to deliver but I am STILL *so* excited to get these books!! Here is what I bought:
beautiful baby items:
craft items:
patchwork book recommended by wee wonderfuls:
beautiful artwork created with children's drawings, recommended by angry chicken, which remind me so much of lizette greco's work:
You can get help in converting currency (so you know what you're paying!) here.
Oh man, there are so many books I want! Although I love eBay this is such a cheaper way to get them! Make sure you take a thorough gander because shipping costs are not cheap. Plus, it would stink if you completed the sale and then fell in love with another book! But then again, how can that not happen?

Have you tried www.yesasia.com ?
The site in in English and the wait is not so bad. I ordered a Japanese apron book from them. It's considerably cheaper than ebay.
I actually have but I couldn't find all of the ISBN's I wanted to I did it the Amazon way. It was actually pretty easy to navigate once I found the "english translation" buttons. :)
I am so jealous! I've been making a mental list of things to get when I *eventually* place my amazon.jp order. Until then I will have to drool all over yours -- sorry for the mess.
Thanks for your comment!
This is a nice blog too!~
:)
I've a translated ZaKka Magnize from Taiwan, its a nice book. I love ur books too. Japanese craft are very very nice.
Good for you that you placed an order with Amazon Japan! I have all 4 of the ones you ordered on my wishlist but I've been a little intimidated proceeding with the order. Thanks for the link so I can see how much I'm spending (always good to know ;) ) I'm really enjoying your blog and can't wait to your shop goodies!
hi from Japan.
it seems to me Japanese zakka is really popular in the us.
happy to know that.
Those books are making me drool. I love Amazon Japan, they have received quite a bit of my moolah this year.
