Found this link over in DoA and figured id share with the Obitsu fans! Its Episode 12 of Culture Japan, hosted and produced by Danny Choo (dont know him? google him and check out his website! really cool stuff.)
But in this episode they talk about how they make the rubber food samples, and then of course they discuss and show the basics of how Obitsu's are made!!! and then there's a little bit about traditional hotels! check it out! its fun!
