A young girl in traditional Japanese dress in the New Otani garden for a special occasion. A wedding at the Royal Rhiga Hotel in Niihama. A very rare sight in Japan, a hunter with a gun.  This man was out boar hunting in the mountains of Shikoku. This award winning hang-a (wood block print) graces the entrance to the Jr. High in Niihama.  The artist is a teacher there, Mr. Kawamura.

 
Even the carpet at the New Otani was a work of art. 
What are these?  Sweet potatoes, squid . . ? 
(A storefront in Tokyo)
A construction site in Niihama. Typical countryside in the mountains of Shikoku.

 
Something got lost in the translation -- spelling?
Cute signing.
The western style hotel had these very modern appliances. Traditional squat toilets in one of the schools.
