Delivered to Japan
Made as close as we can get.
Books for Japan are printed in the United States and sent by international courier, so they take two to three weeks and cost more to deliver than a locally printed book.
For Obaachan and Ojiichan with grandchildren overseas, it's a year of family photos in one place. Respect for the Aged Day, the third Monday of September, is a natural day to send one.
The book's typefaces cover Latin letters, so captions in Japanese script won't print. Write them in English or romaji.
About customs. It crosses a customs border on the way, so the person receiving it may be asked for import tax. That's set by customs in Japan, not by us.
