My work in Tokyo goes both fast and slow at the same time. Just when you think three weeks is short, it seems like a long time too, and then suddenly it is time to go home. And yet...

I think I still have about 10,000 pages of documents to peruse in the archives. I went there today to try and get as much done as possible...five folders today, OK. I know where I'll be most of this coming December trip once my formal commitments are complete.
It was a marvellously clear blue sky day in Tokyo today, just perfect for some more buildings and light and shade.

| A note, from 1973, signed by leading Australia-Japan historian, David Sissons, whose path I am following in this present research... |

| And the pedigree papers of a horse, born 1876, reported and filed c. 1880. Haven't quite worked out why... |
It's a great city, I'm lucky to have it virtually as a second home. One day I'll return just for the fun of it, rather than work...but then maybe the fun is in the work, who knows?

See you back in Bris soon.
