ND NONE of us will ever forget the mama-sans and baby-sans that made our stay so enjoy- able. They were a happy people and their happiness was catching. Gifts were plentiful, and cheap, but you had to know how to bargain. It was considered right to haggle over the price of an object, and sometimes we even thought we had come out on top . . . but there was always someone who had purchased the same gift for a few hundred yen less than you had paid for yours. We laughed and tried again . . . but we never won. Mama-san inspects a squid which will adorn dinner table.
