Hi, I've been lurking here for a couple of months. I'm no expert on anything, just hoping to learn, so I don't know what I have to contribute at this point. I've already learned a lot, and you all seem like pretty good folks. Quite selfishly, my immediate reason for joining was to buy the Shibata bunka listed today in BST. I have the 240 Kashima, which I am madly in love with, so I thought I'd try to increase my joy. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute something more substantial (probably in the form of a question or request for clarification) soon. Happy Holidays!
