Japan! Japan! Japan!

This is a swap for all the people out there who collect Japanese things or are just interested in Japan. You do not have to be completely Japan-crazy to join, but it helps if you really like Japanese items, of course. :)

You will have one partner to whom you will send a package of Japanese things, value around 5-7 dollars before postage. You may also and are encouraged to send things that do not cost so much money (for example stamps, magazine cut-outs, your handwritten Japanese food recipes). Not everything valuable has to cost a lot! :) This is an international swap so be prepared to spend a little on the postage, however.

You MUST send at least 4 different type of small items. Sender's choice.

EXAMPLES:

Postcards

Maps of cities, towns or tourist attractions

Tourist brochures

Cut-outs of Japanese magazines

Eating sticks

Small soy sauce cups / bowls / plates

Kawaii stickers, stationery or memo papers (must be Japanese!)

Stamps

Bento decoration materials, bento boxes

Sushi kits (for example wasabi sauce, nori, pickled ginger etc.)

Food recipes

Instant miso soup powder

Tea (must be Japanese manufacturer)

Train tickets

Small Japanese items and trinkets such as lucky cats or bookmarks

Origami papers

Small cook books

Japanese music (be it traditional or rock or pop...)

Something related to Japanese art or history

Plushies

Remember that this is a sender's choice swap.

THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES ARE: Only send things you would like to receive and have a lot of fun!!

REMEMBER: This is an international swap, you might have to wait for your package a few weeks more than you would if you swapped internally / regionally.

You may not rate 3 or 1 if the swap meets requirements and was sent in time.

Always include a small message to your package stating the swap-name and your screen-name. This way, your partner will be able to rate you easily.

No recent or unexplained 1s are allowed. Contact me before joining if you have any 1s. Newbies with just a few ratings are welcome, but you MUST have a rating for a type 2 or 3 swap. Arigatou!

Happy swapping!
