sn: lrfi., ' -10411 Y- Ifvffr . Qs 1. 21, Qi dd si Nippon, the land of ancient stone lanterns and brilliant neon signs, vvhere the ring of old temple bells harmonize vvith the clangor of modern industry, vvhere kimono clad girls learning the ancient art ot serving tea and arranging tlovvers are as much a part of lite as the Vllestern-dressed secretaries feeding data into a computer, a land vvhere old and nevv find a meeting point, fusing together in a unique harmony ... all this is Japan. Although steeped in 2,000 years of tradition, the Land of the Rising Sun has the energy of youth and the vitality of spirit which makes this country so actively a part ofthe here and now. One ot the great international shopping centers, Japan could find no better vvay ot exemplitying her modern ingenuity than in the ginzas and market streets. Honcho Street in Yokosuka, alias Thieves' Alley , vvith its myriad ot shops certainly seems to epitomize the souvenir monopoly that Japan holds on the rest of the vvorld today. Nikon, Pentax, Sansui, Pioneer, lvlikimoto, Noritake, Honda, Sieko . . . every- thing from hibachi pots to vvool block prints, an endless array of merchandise and bargains. ,,- 1, .
