My sample included Star Anise, I was wondering if this was Chinese Star Anise or Japanese Star Anise?

Your sample has Chinese star anise. The Japanese variety is not edible and is only used for incense. Illicium verum, commonly called star anise, star aniseed, or Chinese star anise is a spice that closely resembles anise in flavor, obtained from the star-shaped pericarp of Illicium verum, a medium-sized native evergreen tree of northeast Vietnam and southwest China. The star shaped fruits are harvested just before ripening.

I believe it's Chinese in origin. I have read elsewhere that the glass was sourced from German glass manufacturers. That may be true, but the quality control on this scope is lacking a bit.

I think the box said "made in Japan" but I'm not sure. If I find the box, I'll post again.

Not sure why the description is now messed up. But Nischi is a beautiful Asian doll, with black hair and brown eyes. She wears 3 month old real baby clothes as I change her clothes all the time. That was what I wanted.

Our Matcha powder is from China and it is not shade-grown. We sent these samples to a lab in Colorado to have them tested. Most brands won't do the testing because it's expensive - but it's important to us. We chose the farm that had the purest (and nutritionally most potent) green tea we could find anywhere. It just so happened to be from a farm in China. The locals have a long and storied tradition of cultivating high quality tea plants. They take a lot of pride in their plantation and meticulously care for each plant. There are some concerns with radiation from Japanese products right now. Since the devastating tsunami in 2004 damaged nuclear reactors in Japan, large portions of their green tea crops have been quarantined, destroyed, or ordered not to be harvested by the Japanese government. It's a tragic situation that has affected the supply of matcha and other teas all over the world.

Actually had to look up what raffia was. It is definitely not raffia. Flowers were a silky like substance. Might have more info from oriental trading since that's what was actually on my package.

From my experience in ordering here, they are not real densuke melons. The melons I received resembled a sugar baby or similar.

The info I received was in Chinese/ Japanese so I have no idea what I was using. I can say I've used several different products, this one didn't irritate my eyes unless some of the fibers got in my eye. I had to YouTube how to apply.

I don't see the store I bought it from anymore, but go with the Japanese vendors and maybe the American ones. Takara is a Japanese company so it would be more likely for the Japanese vendors to have the genuine ones.

I haven't seen a fake before and nothing about it seems to appear fake so I guess it's authentic though its instructions are in Japanese and not English as most US circulated ones are. So authentic Japanese exia it is ^_^;

I'm not sure. Probably china? It took a while to get to me, but it wasn't too long. I liked it, but it's more of an eyeshadow type of brush set. I didn't realize that it didn't have a blending brush for my eyeshadows.

Free shipping on inexpensive items from China usually take a while to get to the US. I ordered mine 11/28/2013 and it arrived 12/26/2013. Amazon should give you an estimated shipping window. If you don't receive it by then then contact the seller. I ordered 3 a while back that never came and got a refund promptly when I contacted them. Make sure it's a RiMei razor on the package and not one marked junjie at the top of the razor. The junjie one I got was garbage.

Japan from all I can find. I thought I saw it on the camera at some point. It is on the box and the extra lense I bought.

I don't know. I re-looked at all adds with information on board and never saw country of origin as China. Where did you get this information from? I looked over packing and carton and saw no such indication. Now I am curious.
