EDIT: 4:30 PM. Definitely time to knock off. Two kosode and two "No-sode" (per JAF's request for some sleeveless ones) are assembled except for attachment of the collars. That leaves the two red ones to knock out next weekend, maybe. I'll probably do the collars by hand in front of the babblebox during the evenings. I just feel like I have more control over the materials that way.  Definitely a Good Dent (TM), which vindicates my choice to not attend Collegium or the Perfectly Period Feast, which, judging from reports and photos posted so far, were both a success.

Hot damn, I won! Set of three fans, two of which match and will probably end up being prezzies for Their Excellencies. I don't know what they have accessory-wise, but nice sensu are must-haves.  The third is much smaller. I'll have to see what it's like. Might make a nice gift for someone, or I might keep it.

Another court suggestion...If you have lines on affordable Japanese appropriate gifties, for baskets and the like. That is great information for TE's to have. (Don't feel like you have to buy and donate everything).

Just shot HE a note about the existence of Daiso Japan, the 100 yen chain which I use to outfit the House of Cheerful Monkeys' table. Sadly, there are no stores up their way, but the one in Union City is reasonably convenient to 680 and 880.
