This is photo that reminds me of the Japan I remember when I lived in the Atsugi and Yokohama area in 1961 through 1963. I always loved the architecture of Japan, the narrow and picturesque scenes of the alleyways. I am glad I found your photostream through some mutual friends. Robert

GEOMETRIC BEAUTY OF JAPANESE ROOFS IS A MASTERPIECE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EXCELLENCE

This photograph is one of the best I have seen defining the roofs of Japan. I find these roofs more than simply fascinating, but art of a unique genre. Thank you for sharing the joy of these views. Robert L.Huffstutter

I am anxious to return to Japan for several months to sketch, paint and shoot photos. It has been almost 50 years since I was last in Japan and it is time to return.

I am hoping to exchange some of my masterpiece paintings of Japan for 2 RT tickets to Tokyo on JAL.
