Japanese knitting help
ABCs of Knitting is a Japanese knitting site with a lot of great information in English:
There's a bunch of other stuff on the site, too, including instructions/reviews for a pompom maker and Hanaami loom and free patterns.
More help on reading Japanese knitting charts is at Clearwater Knits, plus they offer two free sweater charts.
