a whole bunch of stuff

[Nick]

hey there- was wondering if anyone could help find some Japanese items.

Primus- zori and tabi- the only place I've seen them the zori were $60 and the tabi half- that seems kinda steep.

Secundus- a new bokken. My red oak is starting to reveal it's $20 price tag, though it has served me very well. Preferably shiro kashi.

Tertius- some men's kimonos. I'd like a somewhat inexpensive one (under $150 if possible).

Any help would be appreciated. Reply through this site or email me at nickporter@earthlink.net

Domo,

Nick Porter

Peter Boylan at Mugendo should be able to get you Japanese bokken, and Kim Taylor can make you one out of most North or South American hardwoods. (Hickory is nice.)

The NB Store and House of Rice have to be the lowest I have seen Tabi go for...

Definately will make a buy from both..

The House of Rice has alot of nice things...

But Mark B. offeres by far the best deals in town with his prices on dojo items and the like. Wonder if he'll put up an apparel sections anytime... [BIG HINT]
