Long-Lost Victor

CARD IMAGE:

CG Ukiyo-e Series "Rekishi Kaido 21 Scenes"

15. Sengan-yagura Tower, Osaka Castle, Osaka

The main route of the Rekishi Kaido, literally the "Highway of History," is an approx. 300km-long theme road. It starts from ancient Ise, following Auska, Nara, Kyoto and Osaka, and end in modern Kobe, going around to 21 epoch-making sites of Japanese history chronologically. The CG Ukiyo-e Series "Rekishi Kaido 21 Scenes" corresponds to all these locations.

Dear Rich & Lisa ,

Thanks for Victor's e-mail address. I'll try to contact him, so he too can be on my postcard list.

Ever wonder who Cap’n Crunch really works for? These days the ship probably is registered in the Bahamas, with a mixed Filipino and Ukrainian crew.
