Matsuo; "Where?" Hiroki;"2nd floor, 3rd window from left. Can you see that man?" Matuso;"What's that man?" Hiroki;"The man is thinking that places are good for seeing the Emperor.

If this is that hotel, it was one of few buildings standing after an earthquake. Wright received a letter signed by the Emperor thanking him for designing such a fine structure, but it turns out that Wright sent the letter to himself. This story was related to me by FLWright tour guide in Oak Park, IL, so I believe it to be true.

I especially loved the picture of the Togetsukyo Bridge. It was not at all what I pictured when reading Black Wind. It might be time to pick that great book back up again! -Luthie Black Wind --the places where Matsuo walked-- - XamberB - 10-17-2006 Kenji, do you have any pictures of Kyoto? I loved Memoirs of a Geisha and would like to see what Kyoto looked like in the 30's.
