Hope you all had a good time at shami-camp. I am envious!
Anyhow, its hot here in Bermuda, hot and super humid. I build up a good sweat on a vigarous shami set. What I could really use is a bachido brand hachimaki, but I couldn’t find one in the swag shop. Disapointed!
Hey Philip!
ShamiCamp was a great success! Don’t worry, there will be more next year! 
Excellent timing! New Bachido forum member Kristi (who posted the awesome dragon here - ) and I are discussing the design for a Bachido hachimaki! We just need to find somewhere to have them made. Ideas welcome!
Hello friends,

I am a new arrived on the forum.
My name is Johan Walder from Geneva switzerland. And to be short I went crazy with passion - and therefore… well …my wallet
Just bought the - “Sakura Fibersen” which honestly looks A- A–A-AA amazing !! I love the eco friendly view and the chosen colors. You did an amazing job crew. I also bought all I need to play and set my little baby In a month or two I will start building my 1st custom shamisen from scratch.
I am a mangaka and pro illustrator. I intend to personalise and paint my instrument. I will let you know .
