The photographer, Oda Shinsuke, took this photo from a train window. I really like this shot. I am enjoying his photostream on Flickr.
My thanks and gratitude for permitting me to feature his photographs in my blog about Japan.

STAR HOTEL, MOTOMACHI 1962, a watercolor by R. L. Huffstutter
STAR HOTEL, MOTOMACHI 1962, a watercolor by R. L. Huffstutter, a photo by roberthuffstutter on Flickr.
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.

KANAGAWA, JAPAN RURAL AREA NEAR ATSUGI IN 1962,
Soon after purchasing my Petri 35, I purchased a small motocycle and began riding out into the rural areas around Atsugi to shoot photos. Most of the images were captured on slides. Presently, I am in the process of getting the old slides revamped and turned into photos
My dream is to fly JAL to Tokyo sometime soon.

I would like to be here right now. I have many memories of narrow streets like these. You have captured the essence of a Tokyo night in this photograph. How great it would be to be 20 years old once more. Thanks for capturing such a great image.

TOKYO AT NIGHT, A GREAT AND SAFE CITY, ONE OF THE BEST CITIES FOR TOURISM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TAKE JAL TO TOKYO...and if I could, I would stay once I arrived, but of course, that would not be lawful. How long could I spend as a tourist?
If you know, notify me through my FLICKR ACCOUNT.

This really makes me want to return to Japan and enjoy the sights, sounds and aromas of the food, the entire scene.
