I hand sewed this Steamed Peach Bun using one of the patterns in the book. Wouldn't this make a cute Christmas ornament or gift topper?

I love these books but haven't tried them due to them being in Japanese. I'm really excited about this one!! If I win you can reach me at missmoxieatmacdotcom!! Thanks!
How exciting!! I would absolutely love to have this book. :) You can reach me at janetrhoads@gmail.com. Thanks so much!
That's exciting! I was actually just talking to my husband this afternoon about Japanese craft books/magazines. I'd love to get my hands on this one. :) chrissy(at)toddlebits(dot)com
I must confess I am a blog lurker. I love reading your blog and often share pieces of it with my sister who lives in Japan. She recently accused me of knowing more about Japan than she does... which is not true. I just read your blog! Love that this book is in English! Huge bonus for the Crafty English speaking folks here in the states.

Count me in! I think that I could make lots of lovely things with this! I hope to win.rachel@daddyrich.net
Very cool.

I see Japanese craft books on various blogs all the time, and am always intrigued by them, but no there's no way I'd ever figure out how to do anything written in Japanese! ;-Þ How neat that this one is in English. :-)
I LOVE the peach! Wouldn't a little tabletop Christmas tree in a kitchen or dining room be adorable decorated with those?
I adore Japanese craft books but do not have many in my collection, I would love to have this book! You can reach me at ponchichi(at)gmail(dot)com
oh wow! in English - how did we get so lucky?!?!?!?

hey! i'm going to comment on this! a Japanese book written in English! was it published in Japan? of the US? just curious....since obviously the author is Japanese? but it seems it was written for the English speaking (US?) market....
interesting!
You're right! cheap + beautiful = best crafts ever! :)
You're really super; you know that right? :)

The Japanese have a knack for making food look bazaar and beautiful at the same time.
The close as I've been to this type of crafted cuisine was a little grocery shop in Beijing back in 1999. Well before the Anime/culture explosion.
Those are just too friggin' adorable!
