Yoshikawa Toru...

...is my hero. I have been looking for this samashi. I was placing an order with Artistic Nippon, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if it was something he could get his hands on. It turns out that not only can he get one, but that it is being made specifically for me. Oh I'm sure that he'd order one for any customer that asked, but the point is that the one I get will be made because I asked for it.

In a couple of weeks, expect me to go all ga-ga in a review over this thing.
