Ok we want every single one of these great Japanese craft books! Each photo is complete with ISBN number so you can try to find them through Amazon Japan, YesAsia.com or through the Japanese bookstore, Kinokuniya. (There's a Kinokuniya in San Francisco's Japan Town with lots of crafty books.) But just looking at all the covers is inspiration in itself because we aren't sure we'd be able to read the directions! Link and more resources here.

The best part is, you don't have to be able to read Japanese to follow the directions. Every single Japanese crafting book I've looked at or owned has easy-to-follow graphic instructions that almost anyone can follow. I can't read Japanese at all, and I've never had a problem making any of the projects in my Japanese craft books.
