No experience, but I would propose going at it with a cooperative Pentaxian in Japan.
There are two Japan social groups on Pentax Forums. I would try sending a PM or email through the PentaxForums system to users who have posted in those groups in english and see if someone might be willing to make the purchase and mail it. You can also check out their PF Marketplace feedback to get someone who is reputable.
