  Site Mascot

Daruma

If you're wondering who this odd little fellow is, he's a cartoon of a Japanese daruma doll. I found the cartoon on the Web and modified it to use as title and link graphics. Darumas are nifty. For more about them, try visiting Daruma: The Story Behind a Japanese Doll. If you'd like to use any of my little daruma graphics on your site, go right ahead.

  Future Plans

I'd certainly like to do more scanning and make the scans available here. My problem is lack of raw material. If you happen to have any books or magazines with pictures of pretty Japanese faces that you'd like scanned, please get in touch. And of course, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
