Oboro designs have recently moved to Canada, but their designs remain Japanese in influence. I love these earrings called Tanabata, my favourite of the Japanese traditional festivals.

Visa renewal from 2010 requires enrollment in Japan's health insurance program

This is non-etsy related but I thought it might be useful information for non-Japanese living in Japan.

"According to a new immigration law passed by the Diet earlier this month, foreign residents will be required to show proof of enrollment in Japan's health insurance program in order to renew or apply for a visa after April 1, 2010."

The above quote is from Japan Times. Read more on it in this Japan Times Article.

Just got on the social network horse

Thanks Victoria for thinking of this, I have only just started getting into this, what put me off for so long was the thought of it sucking up what precious little free time I have, I have been fairly restrained so far...
