    It was amazing.
    Noel + Matt, Maybe you guys should plan a trip to their factory in Saitama for the next WordCamp Tokyo :)

        Will I be able to crush them with my Godzilla toy?

    Cool! In my lifetime I hope to make the pilgramage to the Shindo shrine. Japan is such a cool place to visit – its so different from the West that its surrealistic. I’m jealous also!

    I own Shindo, and it’s simply the best. Thanks for sharing Ken Shindo with the world…he deserves it. Not sure if they do!
