IF YOU HAVE BEEN TO JAPAN, YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE JAPANESE MATCHBOXES THAT ADVERTISE ALMOST EVERYTHING, BUT ESPECIALLY COZY LITTLE BARS WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE DIM AND THE PERFUME IS HEAVY. IF YOU HAPPEN TO DRINK TOO MUCH SAKE, YOU WILL MISS SOME OF THE MEMORIES; IF YOU DRANK MODERATERLY, YOU WILL RETAIN SOME WARM MEMORIES. BUT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, MUCH CAN BE TOLD BY THE PICTORIAL MATCH BOXES. WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE, CHECK OUT THE GROUP, VINTAGE JAPANESE ADVERTISING.
