TAKING A TRIP BACK TO THE 60S WHEN JAPAN WAS REBUILDING, WHEN JAPAN WAS BECOMING THE SUPER ECONOMY OF THE WORLD. I WAS THERE AND WATCHED WITH GREAT ADMIRATION AND FASCINATION.

This is a sketch of one of my favorite weekend getaways in Yokohama where I could blend with the city and paint from my window, listening to the sights and sound of this most unique nation.
