FIFTH AVENUE . . . JAPANESE STYLE THE IMPERIAL PALACE Y A THE GREAT BUDDHA FUJIYAMA, THE MAGNIFICENT japanese bride yokosuka, our first stop in the orient and our first glimpse at japanese people and customs. Japan has become greatly industralized since World War II and almost everywhere one goes, THERE are new BUILDINGS AND NEW INDUSTRY GROW- ING up FROM WHAT WAS ONCE A BACKWARD LAND. The SEAPORT town of YOKOSUKA is FILLED WITH many different shops that sell everything from souptonuts including the kitchen sink. fine silk cloth, hand carved furniture and intricately de- signed music boxes and cameras probably top the list of souvenirs sent home from the far east. you can hardly walk down a street without seeing a brightly lighted sign reading bar , Dancing or Night Club . Not far from Yokosuka, via train, is the capi- tal CITY OF Japan and one of the largest cities IN THE WORLD, Tokyo. Tokyo has the skyscrapers, THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE SWIFTLY MOVING CROWDS OF SHOPPERS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER L iRGE METRO- POLIS . Of course, in Japan, it isn ' t all hectic with the hustle and bustle of the daily routine. near Yokosuka is the serene village of Kamakura, the home of the diabutsu or great buddha and many interesting shrines and temples. We left Yokosuka, but for those who forgot THAT souvenir HE WANTED MOST NEVER FEAR, .FOR WE SHALL RETURN .
