]]> <![CDATA[Japanese-Style Keyboards Look Almost Too Good for Typing]]> Yes, many a collector has been known to scour the antique shops of downtown Tokyo for woodblock prints of "traditional" Japanese keyboards from the Edo period.

Seriously, "traditional"? These are Japanese layouts of keyboards with some Japanese designs on a few of them, not traditional keyboards. The designs are highly atypical and likely not even sold to the mass market. Your average keyboard in Japan is just as grey and boring as your average keyboard anywhere in the world. If you don't believe me, search amazon.co.jp for keyboards and experience the blandness for yourself.

I can see why they are attractive. Likely they add to peoples internal decor.
I think I'll go more minimalist and wait for the Bluetooth DasKeyboard II.
