FABULOUS blog!!! Thanks for sharing with the world!
Utterly amazing images. "To help educate about Japan" -- and to scare the pants off of children to boot!
Wow, really it's Your blog that's incredible!! Seriously amazing, amazing images. I'm so glad stuff like this is scanned & shared, otherwise it'd be lost! It's like uncovering strange treasures each with each post.
Also a funny thing: just noticed you had another blog when I clicked on your profile, and looks like you posted about Tadanori Yokoo as well - I'd just finished putting up some of his images today! So great.
Anyway, thanks again for the wonderful posts!!
