Our woman attendant, who made a tour of temples in Kamakura with a woman doctor, said, “It was a beautiful day and temples were surrounded with brilliant red leaves.” According to the doctor,Her husband who is also a doctor had stayed in Osaka for 3 months, and had already toured through Kyushu, Hokuriku, and Kyoto. She was frank , loved talking, and was very curious. She made a note incessantly during the tour, drew some sketches of rare flowers she found, asked what their names were, took a picture of lunch, asked about the recipe for it, and took a note again. She said she had already filled three notebooks with notes during her stay in Japan. She especially praised the Japanese diet. In this connection, the theme of her husband’s research in Japan was “The Secret of Longevity of the Japanese People.”
In fact, the purpose of her visit to Japan was to take pictures of the places of which the great grandfather of her son’s wife took pictures in 1910 when he served as a British soldier in Japan. She said, “I have been to Nagoya, Nikko, and Tokyo, but not to the Great Buddha yet. I want to go there today by all means!” The moment she saw the Great Buddha, she jumped for joy. When she had a picture of her taken with the same Great Buddha of 100 years before in the background, she was fully contented.
