One more picture from Japan that I meant to include. Don't forget to look down for the others. This one shows the Takahashi-sans (Hello Emiko-san!) and Mihoko-san in the in the tea house that was our own personal restaurant at Ukai Toriyama, the restaurant I glorified in my entry "Ode to Ukai Toriyama". Mmmmm, sooo good! Here you can see that we were sitting on the floor level, though we had seats with back. Makoto-san is on the floor level, and the women are sitting down with their feet in the square recess that the table sat in. It was a wonderful meal. Like you so much Takahashi-san!
