    It's absolutely true ilyaz. We used to find it humorous when traveling from state to state, stopping in at a souvenir shop in the middle of Montana and seeing all the cheap little trinkets on the shelves, each having a label underneath that said "Made in Japan". Even in the Indian shops it was like that, a feathered head dress or woven beads, etc. all made in Japan. There was a great song that mentioned it, titled "Cherokee People", of which I'm a part, that said "all the beads we'd made by hand, are nowadays made in Japan"
