Its better to burn out than fade away.

I can't do that...
I wish I could...
We just have to out wait them and we'll be here for the rest of our lives, so it's bound to get better somehow

Yea, I have run out of room on both my book shelf (full of paper character cut outs, Japanese cultural statues, friendship and girl friend keep-sakes, manga, magazines, rare lititure, and mini anime figs) and my DVD shelf. I have a lot more DVDs/Blu-Rays and books I just ordered, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

The excess has been going on my desk, but I just finished organization of it all and managed to fit it on my book shelf.

If /jp/ ever has some good Japanese Antique leads I would love to hear.
I would pay a lot for a vintage Japanese military suit.
Mishima's was the best.

I like the guy and what he left behind. All of his asthetcs and warrior codes are still very relevant to me..........

Imerial Japan seems more appealing to me rather than a modern suicidal, nose to the grind, cultural declining, corporate abused Japan

It wasn't that much at all. I know the owner of the shop I bought it at and he gave me a discount.
The medal probably isn't actually that prestigious, since it was priced at $45 U.S dollars. It has a lot of inscriptions in Japanese and came with it's own wooden box and velvet interior, but I am still learning Japanese, so I can't tell what the Japanese writing says on both the medal and box.A lot of the time the shops here in my city miss price their antiques to low. We are a fairly decently big city, but at the same time not big enough and that is why things are cheaper here.
I don't know what your cross is worth though; I think you should get it appraised first, if you can get out of your room though my bro.

Okay I see. I think Japan would be a happier nation If they did go back to Imperialism, which may affect their out put of such things....?
I think Japan is going through a cultural/traditional depression still, because of their defeat, shame of tragedies they caused, declining population and over all loss of culture.....? Mishima predicted that Japan would be come an economic giant of the east and lose all touch of it's true heritage until Japan it's self would be no more than a dead culture and a nation lost to all time.
