Tokyo 1662

Tokyo 1662 by tokyoform
Tokyo 1662, a photo by tokyoform on Flickr.

Photograph by Tokyoform. This is a prize-winning photograph of Japan. It is most likely in Tokyo, but it could be wherever there are small sake bars and entertainment cabarets. I could not believe the drama of such a scene when I first arrived in 1961, and I would most likely be equally shocked if I ever return. My goal is to return to Japan and spend time painting and photographing some unique scenes.

Thanks to TOKYOFORM...check out the photostream.
