IT IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF ALL THINGS JAPANESE...but this is only my opinion. I see much in this wave that is energy and beauty combined, but the edges are so polite, so gentle, just the way I remember my wonderful time in Japan so many years ago.

My duty station at Atsugi on the Kanto plains in Kanagawa gave me a daily view of Mt Fuji and one that I see often when I am starting to doze off in dreams of the past.
