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!

Wonderful photos Kenji. This makes me want to reread BLACK WIND
all over again.

Kenji, could you please translate some of the writing? I would like to know more. Thanks.

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.

Kenji, thank you very much for the translation.
