OLD MOTOMACHI, YOKOHAMA 1962, pencil sketch by Robert L. Huffstutter
Perhaps it is part of a photographic memory when it comes to subject matter, but after closing my eyes for a few minutes, this scene and many others comes to mind and affords me the view I needed to create a sketch of the Japan I remember so well. Motomachi was my favorite area of Japan for many reasons, some very personal, thus such a sketch was a joy for me and one I hope will be a reminder of the 60s for others who were celebrating their youth.
