/jp/ - Otaku Culture

My friend bought his first dakimakura. What's the next logical progression?

What is the best site for getting high quality custom dakimakura prints done? I keep hearing people mention Hobby heart, but the best option they have is 2 Way Tricot for 70 dollars, and I know there is better material but I don't know where else to look. What are the higher quality fabrics called exactly?

Where can I get custom Dakimakuras? I want to get one of my favorite character, Mihiro but I'm not an expert on this kind of shit. I need the intelligent wizards of /jp/

I want to use a specific image for it but Im not sure where to order

>Japan is a very different country than America, and frankly, by American standards, in a lot of ways, is quite backwards.
>Japanese women, for instance, languish behind American women on university enrolment, income equality, and workforce participation.

>Overall, the idea that women should be passive and subordinate to men is a vastly less challenged cultural assumption over there than it is here. And their popular culture reflects that accordingly. >[images of dakimakura, hostess clubs, maid cafes, Rapelay, and panty vending machines appear on screen]

tl;dr conservative pundit who has spent an entire year teaching english in japan conflates japanese pop culture with otaku culture and says sexism in video games is due to japanese studios

Look at the image. Don't panic, don't do or say anything. Not yet. Read these words: Smuggle dakimakura everyday.

Do you get it? Rather unlikely. Not your fault since it's still a bit too early.

When the time comes, you'll understand and finally know what to do.

I going to end this here for now. Smuggle dakimakura everyday.

Has anyone here ever contact a Japanese doujin artist and commissioned them to draw something for you?
I'm thinking of commissioning a doujin artist to draw a two sided daki art, but I'm not sure about the nitty gritty detail of payment method for art commissions. How do you go about hiring a doujin artist to draw your request?

Just got the dakimakura I ordered a month ago, the pillow case is PERFECT, but the pillow itself is crap. Who sells the best pillow?

Need some help, /jp/. New to the world of body pillows, have a quick question.

Not sure if this is where I should be posting about this; please redirect me to where I would if this isn't the place.

Image related; when looking to buy a body pillow like this, the hearts (in this example) are simply on the website for censorship reasons, right? Or should I expect to see the hearts on the pillowcase when it arrives? It seems to me that it'd make more sense for the hearts to be absent on the final product, but since there isn't really any indication on the website I figured I'd ask here.

Here's a link to the product: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Animation-Akame-Ga-Kill-Esdeath-Dakimakura-Anime-Pillow-Cover-Case-Hugging-Body-150-50/32242522730.html?tracelog=back_to_detail_a

A version with some lingerie instead of nudity; maybe this one is more aesthetically pleasing? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anime-Dakimakura-Akame-Ga-KILL-Esdeath-Hugging-Body-Pillow-Cover-Case-/221570030323

I'm relatively new to the world of anime; maybe I shouldn't be getting something related to Akame ga Kill to begin with? Any suggestions on better waifu material? I do really like her as a character, though, and she's aesthetically pleasing to the point where I wouldn't mind having a pillow of her.

tl;dr: For a body pillow like this, are the hearts going to be on the final product? Should I just get the other version anyways? Should I get another body pillow altogether (obviously not buying a body pillow for another character until I watch/read related material)?

So, what merchandise do you own /jp/?
From wall scrolls, to figures, and even dakimakura.

Where did you find them, what were the prices, and what niche interest does the piece of merchandise come from?

I recently went to Japan and a local convention and never found anything Cromartie High School related, except for a pushy of Mechazawa made in America from ADV films that came in the Box set DVD collection for $15 U.S.

Do you have a dakimakura?

/jp/, I'm in need of your expertise and advice. I'm about to buy my first daki, which has the traditional dimensions of 20x60". I found an affordable pillow from an ebay store that's sold hundreds of these in said dimensions and it was only one state away with free shipping, so I gave it go.

The pillow is here now and after taking a tape measure, rather than 20X60, it seems as if it's more like 18-57". Do you think this will this be an issue, or are the pillow cases the same way? It is going to be wrapping around this after all. I plan on getting the 2-way tricot, which is supposed to be more elastic, right?

>The media at our country is making a big deal out of the dakimakura
>They said it is sexually suggestive, obscene and might cause bad effect on the kid
>The dakimakura selling there only show panties and such. Not even a single nude one
What's your thought?

Best cheapest place to get a Dakimura?

I was thinking of getting a Daki, is AnimeDakimakaruPillow a good site?

Sup /jp/ about to go to Japan for a couple of weeks on vacation. What kind of figurines, pluses, dakis, or other things should I get while I'm here?

Been thinking about getting a dakimakura, but still not sure on the idea of owning one.

Do you have a dakimakura? Do you love it? Or do you frown upon it?

Hey /jp/, I haven't seen a dakimakura thread in a while. I only own one daki, but I was looking to expand my collection. I think I'm going to get pic related next. My first daki is peachskin and I love it, but I was wondering if 2WT is worth the extra price. How much softer is it and how durable is it?

I want to learn about dakimakuras!

Why are most daki covers so lewd? Is there any difference in a daki pillow from Japan and a US body pillow, provided the dimensions are the same?

Do you have any dakimakuras? What's your favorite?

Just how fragile is 2wt, /jp/?

Also, general dakimakura thread.

why doesn't my sister accept the fact that the recently announced moaning daki is a great idea

So uhh, I've been wanting a dakimakura lately. I'm willing to drop a pretty penny, but nothing over 200 including both the pillow and case.

Specifically, I've been looking for something that's completely safe for work, as my parents still do occasionally visit me from the time to time, and I don't want to go through the trouble of hiding the case or anything like that. That said, I'd like both sides to be at least decently safe for work like the left side of pic related.

Naturally, I'd also like one of a few specific characters, but mostly of Matsushima Michiru, as in pic related, once again.

I've tried looking it up, but I'm not really sure what would be the most reliable source for something that actually lasts, and I haven't been able to find one that's actually completely sfw on both sides, and has what I want.

What do?
