"Spent the day packing. Wonderful day so children out all day. After they were asleep we went to Takeuchi's home in Kotoen for supper. Had a Japanese-Western meal--creamed meat (may have been eel), peas & carrots served on a shell, Osushi (3 kinds), pickles & cucumbers, sliced tomato on lettuce & then sliced bananas & strawberries in wine, cookies & tea. Nice visit afterwards."

"Another rainy day. Jane Teele & I walked to Nigawa to pay for our Ikebana lessons. Stopped at Teele's to fit kimono. Very nice. After lunch went to Kobe to add to gift list. Bob stayed to play with Teele children."
I do like the 3rd screen from the top. How high are the screens Ann? Beautiful things aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThey are miniatures! Each is about 6" tall and 13" wide when open. Growing up we had 1 full size screen but unfortunately it is long gone...much too delicate for an active household, but at one time very beautiful. Thanks so much!
