   That's beautiful stuff, Kevin. The wood name is correct; check out:

   Thanks for the info, Norm. I should have known that it was a correct attribution. He didn't strike me as someone who didn't know what he was talking about. I saw one minor typo elsewhere on the site and that got me to wondering if the Ebony was a typo too. LOL

   BTW, I sent a link to your Fujino Township site to my 15 year old daughter's email account. She's deeply fascinated by all things Japanese. She has already taken one year of Japanese language in Middle School. This is her first year in High School and she is planning on taking Japanese language all the way thru, for a grand total of 5 years of Japanese language. Her teacher, who used to live there in Japan, teaches Japanese from middle school thru university level here at the local liberal arts university, Pacific University... which is smack-dab in the center of town. So, she's fortunate to be able to learn from the same teacher all the way thru. Anyway, I'm sure she'll find your website interesting and informative. :-)

   Regards,

   Kevin

   Thanks, Kevin. Japanese language is a long row to hoe. I've been at it for 20 years, I teach university classes in it, and there's still lots I don't catch.
