Somebody is double counting (or triple counting) what is shown on the PDF. Probably confusing since the description is in japanese. They are showing, I presume, a model as a kit, and then as a pre-built unit, etc. It looks like the basic 10 watt kit is around 300,000 yen, which is something like $3,000, but that's before other add-ons. Anyway, a K3, fully loaded, is nowhere near $21,000 for a japanese buyer! Nonetheless, it does add up to a significantly higher cost than we pay here in the U.S.
