I also spend a lot of time searching the web for prints that appeal to me.<br />But the Hiroshige book by Matthi Forrer is beautifully set out with the accompanying poems - a real treat.<br />We got to know Hiroshige on the walk as his prints of the post towns appeared everywhere and we went to the Museum in Ena as described in 'Nakasendo 6'.<br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-2331261308191644302009-04-25T09:27:00.000+10:002009-04-25T09:27:00.000+10:00Rosaria,

She was the student who befriended the Japanese exchange student at high school, studied Japanese, majored in Japanese at uni and then went to Japan to teach English a few years ago. She is on her third teaching contract but has been back for long spells in between. However this time she has settled with her Japanese partner so it will be for a longer term.<br />My introduction to Japan was through her, although I have always loved the East and as you know we have a daughter born in Korea.<br />I have had three holidays there, the last of which included the Nakasendo walk, and as with anything I am interested in I read, buy books, study, learn...and now you are seeing some of the results...<br />And I am very happy if you are getting some enjoyment out of my interest...<br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-71215779982972238982009-04-25T09:19:00.000+10:002009-04-25T09:19:00.000+10:00Reggie,
