Ooh, is that Honeycomb another Minekura manga? looks like her art - I didn't know about that one, if it is. Those hair clips are lovely. Obviously "rubbers" means something different in Australia than it does in the U.S. *snicker* (I am such a juvenile) but those are really cute.

Thanks for sharing all the pictures. I didn't know there was a real life origin for the Ginkaku and Kinkaku names, that is so cool! Some of those places were just so beautiful - I particularly loved the pic of the Kinkaku place reflecting on the water, that was gorgeous.

I'd love a postcard, please! Will pm you my address right now! Sankyuu!!
