The days wvhen the words "Made in Japan" were a synonym for cheap and shod- dy imitations are long gonë. For some years now, Japanese cars, cameras and electronics have set benchmfarks for quality. But in the last f ive years, we have also become interested in Japanese culture, food in particular, and there are few Canadian cities now which do not have a respectable sprinkling of Japanese restaurants and sushi bars. -And, in Japan, there is a reciprocal interest in things Canadian. Not Canadian cars or foiod, wvhich do flot temp them. But thîngs which might sur-prise us. "Anne of Green Gables" wvas a, smash hit in Japan. Eskimno carvings are much'sought after there. As a miatter of fact, native Canadian crafts of ail kinds find a readv- eavanSLE. 21,4 wll Call for a no oibligation evaluation of your home, acreage or farmi or for informration on- properties in the areýa. 623-4445 Chris Stapleton Sales Representative 623-7790 Miïracle Veolero is a brand naîme for self-gripping fasteners wýhich are readiiily available at notion counjjter, sayýs Margaret Loewýen-, .>lting and textiles specialist with thle Ontario, Ministry of Agriculture and Food's rural organizations and serv ices brandi '.

This~ probabiy has ta do with the Japanese suspicion that some of their ancestors crossed the Bering Strait and populated North America. No one who has visited Japan would be surprised- to discover that they are also in love with Canadian wood. The Japanese treasure wood in its naturaistate. They rarely paint it, or varnish it, believing that it looks hetter and lasts longer if allowed ta weather as nature intended. No one who has seen the' golden glow in an ancient teahouse, for example, would be inclined ta argue. One can begin to understand why the Canadian log cabin has caught Japan's fancy. A amail Alberta-based f irm, WPM Handcrafted Log Homes Ltd., Iucked into this situation last summer when it set up a demonstra- tion log house at the Otaru Exposition on the northern Japanese îsland of Hokkaido. The demrionstration house wNas bought by the city of Otaru, and before the year was over, the Alberta fîrm had shipped twelve houses worth a third of a million dollars to the Hokkaido ski resort. The Alberta firm is now awaiting a Japanese government certification process before f illing a four million dollar order for 200 log hue for yet another Japanese customer. AIl of which proves, in crass commercial terms, that no foreign market-is impregnable, with initiative and the right Canadian product. And when you eat sashimi in Ottawa and spend a ski weekend in a Canadian log cabin in Hokkaido, you KNOW the world is getting smaller.
