Cherry blossom time - Japan 1932

I'm slightly overindulging in old travel footage... but here is one of my favourites... and it's especially rare to get pre-WWII footage of Japan... Gosh and I've been to Nikko and Kamakura too - two dreamy strange days of getting lost and stumbling on beautiful things - one in snow in Nikko and Kamakura was all dappled sunshine - I must scan in my photos - it was pre-digital camera days! But I remember being puzzled by lots of little statues in red woolly hats and how I went up to a lake near Nikko and there were monkeys in the snow by the road and I found a cluster of swan shaped pedalos drifting abandoned on the cool clear water...
