Belinda (http://www.tuttifruiti.blogspot.com), Kristine (http://www.townmouse.typepad.com/), Corrie (http://www.retromummy.blogspot.com) and Leslie (http://goodness.typepad.com/goodness/) who lives in Nagoya and sells all sorts of Japanese goodness on Etsy.

[Japan Craft Journal] was created out of a desire to have a central source for all things relating to Japanese craft. It will also have details on where to find crafts and craft resources in Japan - for those of us lucky enough to travel there. We will also be featuring links to blogs and sites that offer great information too.
