As far as the rest of the purple pieces in the picture, I am guessing that Hara had them done especially for him.

Anodizing is not that expensive but your challenge would be to find a shop that would be willing to do small pieces and small quantities. My team mate found a web site that sold "do it yourself" anodizing kits. What you get in the kit is all of the chemicals and instructions on how to set up the anodizing tanks and equipment, on a small scale, in your home.
