Just a few photos for now.   Kevin has a brother in Japan and I find the culture fascinating.  I really need to research more,  but the stories I hear are awesome.    Especially,  they say that Japanese people are so full of honour that there is no theft at all.  They say you can leave a dollar on the street and come back a week later and it will be where you left it.    Imagine a culture in which nobody felt a need to steal...

In the late 1980s, the family was the focus of leisure activities, such as excursions to parks or shopping districts. Although Japan is often thought of as a hard-working society with little time for leisure, the Japanese seek entertainment wherever they can. It is common to see Japanese commuters riding the train to work, enjoying their favorite manga, or listening through earphones to the latest in popular music on portable music players.

That old ship, it doesn't look Japanese - it looks Swedish/European.

We had an old ship visiting China (not Japan) some years ago but that is not the one.
