STAR HOTEL, MOTOMACHI 1962, a watercolor by R. L. Huffstutter

The old Star Hotel in Motomach, as remembered from 1962. It was a kind of studio for painting on weekends during my tour of duty in Japan. It was by no means a Ryokan or Japanese Inn, but there was a private and traditional hot bath available. The window opened onto a marvelous street view that is long gone. I am not so naive to believe that there would even be so much as a stone left that would usher up memories, but there is a spirit of the area that would surely make a connection.
