The second website, however, I am still trying to figure out. I sent them an email asking if they ship to the US and hopefully I will get a reply. I searched for an Etegami set on Amazon Japan but didn't have any luck.ainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128235543685262927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-37163960111017800992009-11-28T14:31:40.880-08:002009-11-28T14:31:40.880-08:00@ains
Please share the info about your online sour...@ains<br />Please share the info about your online sources. I get asked a lot, and need to put together a post about this very topic.I just remembered that I ordered a couple etegami sets from Amazon Japan, to test them out before deciding whether to send them to my family in the US. Amazon Japan will ship to the US, and there's a way to see the site in English. The sets comes with just a few sample postcards, and I don't think Amazon sells the postcards by themselves. Plus, the cards in the sets were not absorbent enough for my taste. The paints and tools were great, though!dosankodebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357411708254011194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-3837783313171060182009-11-28T13:11:09.976-08:002009-11-28T13:11:09.976-08:00Thank you for all your help and information.

I think I may have found a couple online sites that ship to the US and I will keep my eyes open. I appreciate your help!ainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128235543685262927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-52567532275967455992009-11-27T15:06:20.974-08:002009-11-27T15:06:20.974-08:00@Anonymous: you didn't say where you live. If ...@Anonymous: you didn't say where you live. If you're in Japan, you can find most of what you need separately or as a set in large stationery stores. The Etegami sets often come with a small packet of trial cards that are not as absorbent as the cards I like to use. You'll want to experiment with various brands to find one you like.<br /><br />If you live in a Western country, finding the materials will probably be a lot harder. But several of my readers do Chinese or Japanese style ink brush calligraphy (shodo), so if you can find a teacher or school of calligraphy near you, they might be able to help you get some of the basic tools. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I'll see if there's an online shop here in Japan that would be willing to send stuff overseas. If I get any useful info, I could send it to you if I had your email address.
