Kite Repairs on the Beach

Taken during a Kite festival on the beach in Japan.

Wooden Staircase, side view

Side view of a staircase at a temple.  This was with a group of photos near the Golden Temple in Kyoto, so it's probably nearby.

Colorful Russian Minarets

Minarets in Russia from RTH's trip in 1995.

Slatted Sliding Door

The slatted panel on the left is an exterior door that slides right to cover the wall panel on the right.  It could have been a door on a house or a store front.  It wasn't unusual for exterior doors in small towns in Japan to have no latch or lock.  This was probably taken in the late 1960s.

Still Life (Draped Rope: sketch)

Still Life of a rope draped over a railing.  October 18, 1995.

Baskets against a Retaining Wall

I'm pretty sure these baskets are sitting on the beach in Zushi, near where we lived.  I think we're looking through the underpass at the right edge that leads to our house, and that the concrete wall on the left is the retaining wall at the top of the beach.  Regardless, it was taken in Japan in the late 60s.

Clothes Hung on Lines

Taken in Japan.

Cupola, Tver Russia (sketch)

A Cupola from Tver, Russia.  That city has a lot of buildings with cupolas, and I couldn't find this one.  Maybe not being able to type in cyrillic was part of it.  Drawn during the trip to Russia in August 1995.

Woman Asleep on Train

Woman asleep on train.  Japan, late 1960s.

Bamboo Gutters and Downspouts

Building with gutters and downspouts made from bamboo and wood.  Japan, late 1960s.

Fall hillside, Japan

Japanese hillside in fall.  Most of the woods in Japan were evergreen, with a scattering of deciduous trees, so there wasn't much in the way of fall colors.  This photo was probably taken in the late '60s.

Grapestake gate

Decorative entry gateway.  Photo taken in Japan, late 60s.

Table and Stepstool (Sketch)

Coffee table and stepstool.  Sketched February 1995
