This a perfect example of the Japanese sake bars I saw while spending a tour of joyful duty in Japan in the early 1960s. While these were for the local Japanese, whenver an American wondered in, he was treated with respect and offered sake. In Yamato, I had a favorite sake bar I frequented.

On more than one occasion, my Japanese friends made sure I made it home to my small apartment in Yamato. 50 years have passed, but I still have warm memories of my time in Japan whenever I see photos like these with many lanterns. Thank you for sharing this special photograph. Robert
