Okay so after discovering the wonders of
MT tape...a whole new crafty-licious Japanese world has opened up before my eyes! Searching for a book by handmade stationary queen
Udagawa Kazumi in
Kinokuniya, I found hundreds of other mini craft books too. There is pretty much one on any subject you can imagine (
felt button making anyone?) so I had to
rein in sudden desires to make EVERYTHING and buy just a couple. Ugada's
handmade stationary made the selectin but also couldn't resist this guide to the best
boutique shops in Tokyo. Both books have some great interviews with different designers and shop owners. Now off to practice my
Japanese reading, this could take a while...
