Thanks to everyone for looking at my site and buying from me. I appreciate it very much. A word or two about my store and how it works.
If you buy something using the Paypal buttons, the button does not automatically disappear. I have to remove it manually, and I can't do that from my home
computer--only the one in my office. So after you order something, the button may be there for a few hours. That only means that I am away from my office.
However, in order to be fair, if more than one person buys the same item, I am going to sell it to the earliest buyer. So if you find a nice item here and buy it right away,
keep in mind that someone else may have paid for it first.
This often happens during the night (Japan time) when I cannot change the website. Of course, I give full refunds in these cases.I send email notifications within 12
hours of the purchase. Even when I refund, I will send you an email in addition to the refund notification you will probably get from Paypal.

Sorry for any confusion. The system Paypal gives me doesn't allow for the buttons to disappear.

Cheers,
Rich

Item #301j
Price: 950 yen
Beautiful 3-cup set. Lacquered wood with gold gilt kanji in the bowls. The gilt is thick. In addition to the kanji, there is
also a cipher (shorthand signature) that is probably the artist's, though I'm not exactly sure.  The three kanji read
(from the left): Sea, Tathata, Mercy. Since the central kanji is a religious term (click on the link for details), I suppose
this three-kanji combination means something significant. However, I do not know what it may be...
