Thanks for looking!  They are quite something, aren't they?

Re: [RBW] Re: Beautiful Japanese bicycle prints. Anyone read Japanese?

2012-09-07 Thread Robert Barr
I showed the page to one of the staff members of the weekend Japanese
School that is housed at my daughter's school and her quick assessment was
similar to blakcloud's wife. She said the site read like a personal blog
illustrated with  seasonal images. There is a linked essay on the page but
I didn't want to presume and ask her to read enough to tell me what it was
about. I wonder if it the personal site of one of the many passionate
Japanese fans of the classic French randonneur tradition. Lovely images. Bob

I am experienced in Japan shopping - I had a fiberglass fly rod rolled from 
scratch and finished, and have purchased a good deal of fly tackle, 
including English bags at a better price that I could get them from the UK. 
 The next thing, is Japanese businesses are prohibited by law from 
accepting credit cards from banks not based in Japan.  For some reason, 
paypal is an exception.  
The language barrier is everything.  If the shop does not have English, and 
most don't, then you must have a broker.  
I have used noppin.com (formerly crescent-shop) with great success for at 
least a half-dozen purchases.  
After signing up, you make an inquiry on the shopping contact board.  
They will need a link to what you're asking about.  
They will make the contact and give you a quote, their commission is 20%. 
 Payment is by paypal, and you must register your paypal on their site. 
 Again, not a problem.  
The quote will include shipping to them, but not to the US.  When they 
receive the item, they will send you a shipping invoice.  
They only ship Express Mail, which is about $35, but you will have the item 
in 4 days.  
All transactions are in JY, so use xe.com to determine how much you're 
spending.  
There is another brokerage business, rakuten, but their shipping is nowhere 
near as easy as noppin - with rakuten, you must set up a shipping account 
with a third-yet party.  
At noppin, Masamichi and Shimzu have excellent English, and are easy to 
work with.

My wife is Japanese and had a quick look at the website and couldn't find 
anywhere where you could purchase any prints. She liked the cyclist gallery 
where they had cyclist from every season, spring, summer, fall and winter. 
Hope that helps.

Google translate doesn't say anything about them being for sale.

I agree with both of you, though. They are very pretty.
