SOBA REFILL ORDER: Detail of watercolor by R.L.Huffstutter

SOBA REFILL ORDER: Detail of watercolor by R.L.Huffstutter
This watercolor with pen and ink highlights is the subject matter of a photo taken in a Yokohama alley in Chinatown in 1961. It was not until I confered with several of my Japanese friends that I learned this was a soba bowl, not a rice bowl. One learns so much even after 50 years has passed since I snapped the photo with my new Petri. Below is the photo.
