Hey guys! Whats up? I need some help from someone in Japan. I've been browsing for some geisha style hair forks to start a small collection, but so far, I haven't found many that were satisfactory enough. The only place I've found is a wholeseller in Alibaba.com named Sugino Co Ltd. Being a wholeseller via AliBaba they are selling boxes with 30 units of the same model. Their website is in Japanese, so I don't understand anything, and Google TRanslate has proven to be useless because it's not translating many of the headlines and descriptions. Here's the URL for the manufacturer http://www.sugino-mkj.co.jp/ And here are some pictures from AliBaba http://jp117999064.trustpass.alibab...ie_kanzashi_57.html?tracelog=ggsotherproduct1 Any sort of help would be much appreciated! (ideally, I'm looking to get the forks from a retailer, so if you know of a store that specializes in hair accesories and stuff like that, and keeps stock of classical Japanese ornaments send the URL's along! :nod
I have a Yahoo Japan proxy if you want to give that whirl. My guess is you can find just about anything you want.
At this point, I want whatever I can get. These ones are pretty and they look right (at least on a picture level). I'd like to start collecting these things, but in my current budget plastic is probably all I can afford right now. To my understanding, original accesories were made of turtle shell, wood, ivory and other materials such as those. @Gaijin, it would be awesome if you could send me the info of the Yahoo thing. Thanks!
A lot of department stores have these and there are a few stores that do specialise in them too. I need to go to a department store on Wednesday to pick something up for my GF so if you want a couple of cheap ones then I would happily pick one or two up for you.
I just replied to your email, but just in case. Send me the name of the store so I can see if they have anything nice and worth your time Thanks!!
