I noticed that the Store run for many years by Hitomi on E Bay is no longer there. It was there as recently as a week ago, but it is now gone. She was always a pleasure to deal with and her items were always reasonably priced. Does anyone know what happened to her? I will miss her and wish her well.

That's a shame. We can definitely use more people who sell quality magic items on eBay. But I can imagine it's not an easy business to prosper in.

I buy from her every year but have not received a reply to my emails. I hope she is ok.

Same here - no replies whatsoever. I have bought every single new release from her for I think about 15 years or even more. Such a kind, helpfull lady she was - her husband used to work at the Tenyo company by the way. The last couple of years she would cut out the 'coupons' for the +1 trick for me and send it when it was available. She would also translate all the +1 items manuals herself and e-mail some info before the tricks were released.

I have a very bad feeling ... . I hope I'm wrong and she is doing well.

Any update on Hitomi’s well being?

Yeah, for sure Hitomi san was a class act on every level. Professional, courteous, always delivered above & beyond. It's a long shot , but maybe Richard Kaufman can be of help here.
