I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THE AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER IHSUSTA 52 and I am most impressed with his work. I am looking forward to viewing more of his fantastic photographs. I would love to be in Japan once more, to shoot the scenes that so enchanted me as a young man in my first overseas duty. It was a tour I have never forgotten. It was an affair of the heart if one can love another nation almost as much as one loves his own nation. I shall never forget the many great moments so very long ago. It is photography like IHSUSTA52'S that delights my heart and soul. A journey through his photo collection is almost like a return trip. Almost.............Robert

It is so comforting to know that there is something so distinctly Japanese about the scenes that despite the years that have passed since I last looked at real life images of this nature, I would still, after these many years, know that this is the Japan of the past but in the present. A great nostalgic shot from my perspective. Editor
