Welcome to AKAI-HANAO-NO-JOJO
Every summer my shop, AKAI-HANAO-NO-JOJO, has held an annual contest, in the form of a "geta-quiz" where 10 people can win a pair of beautiful Japanese geta. This has always been limited to the customers that have come into my shop, and last year, summer of 2000, I opened this contest to all people in Japan, through my web site.
But this year, to celebrate my International Web Site (http://www.karankoron.com), I am opening this contest to all people, everywhere. Geta fans in every country can now get their own Japanese Geta through this site and play this Geta-Quiz contest.

IWATE prefecture is in the north of Japan

9/28/2001　A question about the No.10
Konnichiwa Chris-san, AKAI-HANAO-NO-JOJO desu. Thank you very much for your asking about the Geta Contest.

「下駄クイズ」の当選者のことで質問があります。
ホームページで当選者をチェックしているのですが、最後の10人目がまだ発表されていないようですが、
もうすでに決まっているけど、まだホームページが更新されていないのでしょうか？

クイズは、8/1　をもちまして終了いたしました。すでに、9名の方が決まっており、6名の方に発送いたしました。当選者の中にフィリピンの方が2名おりますが、フィリピンは一年中トロピカルなため、いそがないと思い、一番後の発送となります。また、ミシガンの方がひとりいますが、テロ事件により、発送がおくれております。さて、ご質問の10人目の当選者ですが、まだ、未定です。もちろん、6/2のクリスさんの応募も選考の中にあります。みなさん、ほとんど正解者のかたで、いっしょうけんめい書いてくださった方もいて、選考に困っておりました。この結果につきましては、近日中に、直接、クリスさんの方へご連絡さしあげたいと思います。ご指摘、ありがとうございました。
どうぞ、よろしくお願いいたします。
P.S. たいへん、日本語がお上手なのですね。びっくりしました。

Hint　Kunoichi's Musings from AUSTRALIA
 Go see her web site at "Japanese Footwear @ Karankoron - Geta and Zori"
One day as I was faced with a difficult English problem, she appeared like a gale via e-m@il and helped me with my work.
She is just like a ninjya , "kunoichi" a professional, highly trained spy.

I agree with her comments such as:
"It's an integral part of the geta. Without it, they are not real geta...."
?
How to wear

Hint The word "karankoron" can also be found in a book called "Botan Dourou"［牡丹灯籠] that is a very famous Japanese ghost story. " with the sound of Japanese wooden clogs echoing all around" "KARANKORON, KARANKORON, KARANKORON"...............the ghost is coming near. Watch out! ^_^
