[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 294749, member: 136"]Chris, I've only been to Japan once, and it was a [I]very[/I] long time ago... (1980!) What I bought for myself then was fine china - full service for 16. Back then, having china (and silver) was a [I]real thing[/I]! Even paying the postage & duty, I spent less than half what it would have cost to buy it in the US. What would I buy NOW (especially since I have TONS of china!) ? For myself, I'd buy whatever tickled my fancy, particularly if I'd never seen anything like it here at home. (I'd probably also be looking for cool silk fabrics.) Were I buying stuff to SELL, I'd buy ANYTHING "current Japanese pop culture": pop art, toys, etc. (Even better if it's different from the "American" version: think Pokemon, for instance.) Just my 2¢ - but WHATEVER you do, and whatever you buy, have FUN![/QUOTE]
