This excellent composition by Peter Jacobs is the frontispiece for Volume 5, Best Black and White Photographs of Japan. It is truly excellent, a photographic masterpiece.
THIS IS A FANTASTIC SHOT. Great composition. Great in black and white. B/W would have been my choice for this one too. Glad you used both languages for description. That will be personally helpful to me for any art work I might do. I have, however, always associated umbrellas with Tokyo and most any city in Japan, rain or shine.

There was no such store as a Ben and Jerry store when I was in Japan. There was no Mc Donalds, but there were plenty of other great places to shop. I arrived at the old airport in August of 1961 via Pan American. I rode the bus through the streets, a delight because there was no freeway at that time. Within 4 hours, I was at Atsugi, reporting to my squadron, VQ-1, at NAS Atsugi. It was a great time, 28 months I shall never forget.
It was a sad day when I had to say Sayonara shortly after celebrating Christmas of 1963. Departing Yokosuka on the USS GENERAL MANN, I had plenty of time to contemplate a chapter of my life that had just ended---forever. We sailed beneath the Golden Gate on my 22 birthday and I was home at last, never to be the same again. My memories of my time in Japan are golden as I have just turned 70. Where did the time go?
Throughout my time in Japan, the exchange rate was Y=360 per 1 U.S. Dollar, a great rate for shopping. Robert
