    Default Black Wind --the places where Matsuo walked--

    This is Ginza in 1927. The places where Matsuo returned from San Francisco. If you have an interest, check it.

    Kenji, thank you so much! When I read a book I always create an image in my mind of what buildings, places really look like. This is great!

    Fabulous pics, Kenji. Thanks so much.

    I recommend pleasant.

    This is a theatre in Yurakucho and capacity was 4000. A stage and hall's design was art deco, and it was good name as "Cinema Palace". This buildings were ruined by war, and after the war, built Yurakucho Center buildings(AKA Marion). Also, in first Godzilla movie, this building was ruined by Godzilla.

    Left buildings are Mitsubishi 2nd buildings. Right buildings are Tokyo Shogyo Kaigisho(Tokyo commerce conference center). Those buildings are facing to The Imperial palace.

    Thanks Kenji.

    Maggers showed us some of RJ's lurkabouts, and Jim showed us a satellite view of Sutton Square which added to Maggers photos -- it's great to be able to fill in the background on places where Matsuo walked.
