Originally sketched this in pencil at the station and later turned it into pen and ink.

One of my biggest hopes is to be able to return to Japan someday and spend a few months sketching, painting and taking photos. There is probably more subjects in Japan for artists to paint than in any other country. Tradition and the Japanese lifestyle of respect and appreciation for nature has, I believe, preserved the beauty of the past, in mind and spirit, and in the material things of life too.

I REALLY ENJOY THIS PHOTO; IT HAS SOME OF THE OLD 60S FLAVOR TO IT. IN OTHER WORDS, SOME THINGS DON'T CHANGE THAT MUCH. THIS MAKES ME WANT TO BOARD THE NEXT JAL......
