TCOBaG – kNow ThiNkIng AllOwEd

Wow, hard to believe my youngest is now 9 and it also marks 9 years I’ve been living and working in Japan.

Ahn asked for a ninja suit for his birthday present.

Now, you’d imagine that living in the land of ninjas it wouldn’t be too difficult to meet that request, right?

Not as easy as you’d think. I’m sure there are a number of those paper-ish, Halloween, wear-it-once-and-it’s-done sorts around, but these guys love this sort of thing.

They’ve totally worn out and outgrown their Spiderman suits we got at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, as well as their Batman costumes they received when Mommy was away in China on sabbatical… (those little buggers have since cabbaged onto my Batman suit and are using it!)

Anyway, they’re really in to making videos and role playing (no idea where they get that ) so we were looking for something of fairly high quality material that was durable and looked great.

We ended up going online and ordering these from one of the Ninja Mura’s (ninja village). But it is located in Mie Prefecture so we had no time to travel there (plans in the works though!) and just called them up.

One great part about ordering things in Japan is that there are still a lot of COD-type deliveries. For me, I’d prefer using my credit card or Paypal, but it’s still pretty convenient to just order it and pay when it arrives.

Here are a few photos from the day:
