We separately purchased Kotaro's Sando-gasa style hat from Asakusa, Japan for our customer.

We visit our native Japan on occasion (usually twice a year) and can purchase hard-to-find and/or expensive items for certain costumes we create for our customers, usually at a good price as well (if you know where to look in Japan).  If we notice your costume and/or wig has a Japanese accessory, we can let you know if it's cheaper for us to get it in Japan for you.
