Japanese basic lands?

I'm going to start playing Legacy, and I want all of the cards in my first deck to be Japanese. The biggest problem right now is that I can't find any pre-8E frame, non-Portal Japanese basic lands. Do those even exist? MagicCards.info and Gatherer don't have anything listed, but they've been wrong before. I would especially love the Mirage block Swamps if there are any.

Bonus points if you can provide a link to a site that sells Japanese basics, because, well, it should be obvious that I can't find any. ;P

Not sure if this is any help to you but I found a bunch of stuff here that's Japanese Troll and Toad

Didn't really get into the Japanese thing myself, and not sure if they have the pre-8thE stuff, but it's worth a shot I guess.

I have a fair amount of Japanese basics from 4th Edition (black bordered -- their "Beta") and from Tempest, so I know they exist. Are we talking about a large number of these basic lands? If not, I might be able to hook you up.

Alright, good to know that I'm not trying to find something that doesn't exist. And like I said, I only need the lands for one deck, so I don't need that many of them. Right now I need eight Swamps and one Forest, but could also take 16 and 2 because I'm probably going to get one set altered*. And of course if I can find more of the basics, I could just buy a bunch of them for each color while I'm at it.

@ rabbit: I checked, and TrollAndToad isn't selling anything I need. But thanks anyway.

* Though it's possible that I'll just end up using altered English basics if I can't find the lands I like in Japanese. That seems likely, because I want one of each Mirage Swamp, one of each Tempest Swamp, and this Masques Forest, and getting those specific lands probably isn't going to happen. :/

You can check out what sets were printed in what languages here:

http://www.magiclibrarities.net/sets.html

Every core set since 4th and every expansion since Mirage have printed in Japanese. I don't know where one can buy 'em, though - all I can do is offer confirmation that plenty of Japanese basics are out there, somewhere. :b

I think I might actually have that one. I got a Masques precon set a few years back and they're either Chinese or Japanese. I'll see if I can dig them out this weekend and find out.
