Yesasia.com
The improvements to the Yesasia website are going to make it very difficult to stick to a budget. Now you only have to spend 25.00 to get free shipping and it's so much quicker, it used to take on average 5 weeks, my package arrived within 3 weeks this time.
This time I got 2 books I've seen on other blogs
ISBN 4529042049
ISBN 4579110919
as well as one I found by browsing
ISBN 4579108272
This one is really lovely, shows how to make five traditional kimonos, 4 for girls, 1 for boys. With my limited Japanese, I am pretty sure these are meant to be for the Shichi-Go-San Festival. I"m just not sure how much I would use this book, but I am going to hang on to it for a bit. It would certainly be more practical to sell it, especially since I already have a new order lined up at Yesasia...I suppose there are worse vices than too many Japanese books. I can always rationalize that they are helping me learn to read kanji.

Ah yes, Japanese Craft Book Addiction, I know it well. I use the YesAsia site too, that free shipping makes it rude not to spend the required amount. I have the middle book and have just made a couple of dresses from it, lovely simple patterns and beautifully photographed as always.
Yesasia is evil! Always trying to steal my electricity bill money! The design collection for kids book looks super.
