GMK Kanbara
Hello, this is a keycap set that I designed. I hope you like how it looks.

This is Kanbara, based off of 2 Ukiyo-e prints by Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. These prints, namely, are titled “Evening Snow at Kanbara,” (the namesake of the set) and “Kameyama, Yuki Hare.”
The yellowed beige aims to capture the aesthetic of yellowed kozo paper, paired with a blue that attempts to match a yellowed variant of a particular oft-used shade of Prussian Blue by Hiroshige.
I even obtained a fairly-old reproduction of a Kanbara print to help me reproduce the color of the yellowed kozo paper.
Denizens of my discord (thank you, guys!) will know that this has been in the works for at least a couple of months now.
The very first kitting revisions were done alongside them.
Hopefully, this set will be running in mid-May, but timelines are noodley and flexible.
Vendors
Obviously, Switchmod Keyboards
Otherwise, none yet. I want to finish kitting before I reach out to regional vendors.

Pricing
Pricing will be posted here when we’ve submitted finalized kits for approval, I’ll need your help to decide on what to put in the kits.
Since I don’t have to pay a designer cut this time, I’ll just deduct that cut from the price, which is pretty cool!
Kits

Base Kit
The base kit is pretty much a standard kit from Switchmod Keyboards at this time.
New inclusions are of a single novelty, and an F13 key.
Some extra numpad keys have been added as well.
At this time I only seek to offer physical ISO support.
Extra B for alice.

Row 5 Kit
I like row 5, but it dregs the price of a base kit and so we’ll separate that.
I will personally buy this to MOQ if it doesn’t make it, so don’t worry about that.

Spacebar Kit
“Yup, those are spacebars.”
These are preliminary kits, and will be updated during the interest check process with the help of community members. If you spot anything off, please make note of it, and make sure to comment on the interest check. Thank you!
Up to 2 more kitting revisions will be made during this formal interest check phase on Geekhack, and neither of them will include mod tilde and mod pipe.
Renders (by Oblotzky)
Nami by Zekk.works (This will also be a Switchmod buy in the future. If you’re interested, keep your eyes peeled! :D)
