Fun stuff I've come across:

• ironchef.com - my favorite Iron Chef site run by "Iron Steph" (Stephanie Masumura)
  Yomigaeru Aiyan Sheffu!
• 101 Ways to Tell if You're Japanese-American
• Japanese Family Crest t-shirts - This is a site in Japan that has some nice images of various kamon as well as a bulletin board to post questions. But PLEASE don't just say you're looking for the "So-and-so" family crest. Crests are NOT specific to the family name. If you look at the webmaster's standard response to these posts, you'll find that you pretty much have to know already what design you're looking for before you can ask! I have never ordered anything from here and don't know anything about the person(s) running it.
