Nihon

japan is a very weird country. you cannot really judge the things here by the value of an item.
A book which costs 1800 yen. a handkerchief cost you about 1800 yen.
in Malaysia, you cannot get a book with the price of a handkerchief.
what i mention here are a standard book (from Kinukuniya) and branded handkerchief (Paul Smith). both are made in Japan.
it is kinda weird but i guess this is just the culture here.
by the way, a meal also can cause you 1800 yen.

what is the value here? i guess it is priceless.
politeness among the Japanese.
