epoxy table top resin

Does anyone know if there is a cheap way to buy resin in Japan? I looked on Amazon and one gallon runs from 2man-8man yen. I was hoping to use it to coat a table top that I cook on regularly, but it is looking to be cheaper to buy a new table.

My only thoughts were to try somewhere like Joyful Honda or something like that to see if they have it and that prices would be cheaper than online. A lot of my friends who do DIY projects shop there for stuff and they do say it's not as cheap as back in the States but I think maybe the pricing is better than amazon.jp!

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
