Ian, That Hoshikin is rather special with a special price tag? I suppose will have a price tag like that if it is his No1 available to buy. Shame about Dainichi, but I am sure he will sort some for the next visit? Sekiguchi is a nice place to visit, be sure to take plenty of photo's the view from th...
