My gratitude to the photographer, Kurtz Law, for permission to include this photograph in my BlogaboutJapan. Mr. Law has captured a view that I remember quite well. Back in the early 60s, the steps were easy to climb, but it would take much more time now. Mr. Law's photograph captures both the progress of construction, the progress that is inevitable in a nation where progress is essential, but moreover, his photograph retains the view of the causeway, though much wider and more efficient. Thankfully, the beauty of the traditional roofs has remained in reality and remembered quite well. Congratulations to Kurtz Law for photographs that awaken some fond memories of Enoshima nearly 50 years ago.
