Madame Seksuko Sugahara and Madame Ikuko Nakano at the Ritz photographed by Shoji

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Shoji sent me a few more images of our visit with Madame Setsuko Sugahara and Madame Ikuko Nakano yesterday at their hotel.

I am wearing Greek fashion today, my coat is from Deux Hommes, gloves on my lap which are absolutely necessary with the short sleeves and a velvet shawl from Lukia. You can not really see it but it is there.

Before we went up to their room Madame Setsuko Sugahara and Madame Ikuko Nakano invited us for tea.

After a bit I asked them to show me what they had bought on this trip.

As you can tell we had a wonderful time with our two ladies from Kyoto. You will have to wait for more photographs in January when Shoji goes home for the holidays and visits Madame Setsuko Sugahara and Madame Ikuko Nakano at their homes.

Happy Birthday tomorrow Shoji and thanks for the photos.

Later,

Diane from the internet cafe
