The Imperial Hotel, in Tokyo, is where I bought a string of pearls for Patty and also a ring. The pearls are worth a lot of money today as is the ring. Since I was there in 1954 and took this photograph, the hotel as you see it in this photo, was torn down and replaced by a modern, box-like, structure that the Japanese purist do not seem to like and wish this original hotel was standing there instead of the new one.

This is a beautiful structure. I can understand why people would be disappointed to see a plain old building in place of it. what a waste! I'm so glad you have this picture.
