Orio, I just reread your message.... Did you try under the top banner at the line which says "home, smooth catalogue, simple catalog..."? They darken when I mouse over them and the curser changes to a hand. Clicking on "smooth catalog" gets the better pictures, after that any thumbnail will lead to more information, and larger pictures often have a sequence of images. The catalog buttons bring up a menu on the left with categories including freebies (5 pages now - this is growing). The site is restrained in design, minimalist like some of the better Japanese sites, but clicking around usually uncovers the treasures. With Cooler's frame and Zippo's tatami mat, you could have come close. At least Japanese architecture has held simplicity as a virtue. You probably couldn't have faked Victorian gingerbread or Art Nouveau curves in a weekend. The big thing here is proportion and the mats would have given guidance. Good luck! Carolly
