I've noticed recently that the 'Topic Ad' in the right-hand column that displays samples of my products is not displaying black-fabric images properly. There are white lines around the edges of the images where they border with the transparent part of the image (i.e. the unprinted back fabric). Please keep in mind that these white outlines do not appear on the real product. Take a look at the image previews within the shop itself. These previews are more like what the image will actually print as.

I've added a new section to my store: Photography!
The images used in the new section are photographs that I submitted to DeviantART recently and received positive comments on. 'Cherry Tree Silhouette' (named simply 'Silhouette' in my DA account) is the most popular image. It has only been up a day and is already my submission with the most favourites.
Here are samples of the images:

Shop name explanation
'Otogi no Kuni' is Japanese. 'Otogi' is used in the phrase 'Otogibanashi' which means fairytale. 'No Kuni' means 'the country of'. Therefore, Otogi no Kuni means Wonderland, or Never-Never Land or Otherland (and any other such name).
I chose to use a Japanese phrase because I live in Japan. I chose that particular phrase because although I am a geek of many geeky things, I am primarily a geek of Fantasy. Also, the Kanji (Asian characters) I chose to phonetically represent my name for fun includes the kanji 'togi' (although I use a different pronunciation for my name).
In my mind, Otogi no Kuni represents the places my mind goes when I am daydreaming. I often get ideas for Cafepress designs while I am daydreaming. That is why my shop is named so.

New Design!
I uploaded a new design; Midori.
The letters are Japanese Hiragana. They are pronounced as Midori.
Midori can mean either 'green' or 'three birds'. Yeah, bad pun, I know; but after getting the idea I just couldn't not turn it into a design.
If you want me to adapt the design for any other products or change it to the pocket position on the t-shirts, leave a comment below.

New News Blog
Hi! I am Togiren. I am the shop owner of Otogi no Kuni. I created this page in order to post news relating to my shop.
