THERE ARE MANY STORIES BENEATH THESE ROOFS AND BETWEEN THE BRANCHES OF THE TREES THAT WILL REMAIN SILENT FOREVER. THE ROOFS OF JAPAN, SO BEAUTIFUL, SO JOYFUL TO THE EYES, SO FULL OF CONTRADICTION IN ONE WAY AND ANOTHER. THE JAPANESE SOUL, SO QUIET AND POLITE, YET SO LOUD WITHIN THE MIND OF THE INDIVIDUAL. SO QUIET, ALWAYS SO QUIET, UNLESS IT IS SHARED BY MUTUAL AND POLITE AGREEMENT. THUS, WHEN THE BOWS ARE SEEN, SO PROPER AND SO CORRECT, THERE IS A SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO THAT IS FILLED WITH EVERY RAY OF THE RISING SUN, EVERY SOUND OF THE SAMISAN. A POEM BY R.L.HUFFSTUTTER
THIS 1950S PHOTO FROM WA7OEC...OUR THANKS TO BILL FOR PERMISSION TO POST HIS MANY PHOTOS FROM HIS TOUR OF DUTY IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE DURING THE 1950S.
