Farewell party for Dr. Arnold Heinrich Fanck who has recently completed Japanese-German co-production movie "Die Tochter des Samurai" held at the restaurant Kanetanaka in the evening of February 5, 1937.

This movie is said to have produced in order to change German people's image for Japanese as Asian, synchronizing with the German-Japanese Anti-Comintern Pact signed in 1936.

Sadly my hearing is almost shot and music is something that I miss, but I still have the memories.

I am sorry to hear that. Music, the sound of a warbird firing up, thunder storms.

Not a worry and my thanks for your concern. Hearing is not a total loss to me for warbirds firing up and lifting off I feel and hear and with the aid of hearing aids (cochlear (left) and hearing aid (right)) the chirping of some birds comes through but not in the natural sound as you would hear and as a consequence, music I can hear in a limited capacity but it lacks the melody and is in fractured tones, so not the joy it used to be.

Ki-49 take part in the annual military parade on 29 April to mark the Emperor's birthday. This photograph was probably taken in 1943. The one in the foreground belongs to the Hamamatsu school, the one at top right is an aircraft from the Radio Operator's School and the Ki‑49 in the middle was assigned to the Army Air Academy.

Great people who have been forgotten in the history.

"In Yokohama on February 13, 1937, Ms. Genevieve Caulfield (46) who stayed in Japan as an English teacher since 1926 leaves for her home country with her adopted daughter Haruko Tobita Caulfield (25) and mother Francis (70) to introduce Japanese culture in the US."

This Ki-49 Model 2 Otsu was assigned to the obscure 105th Kyoiku Hiko Rentai (105th Training Flight Regiment), which had been organised on 30 September 1941 at Hamamatsu. In August 1942, one of its chutai was transferred to the newly formed 116th Kyoiku Hiko Rentai. On 31 March 1944, the unit changed its name to the 5th Kyoiku Hikotai (Training Flight Unit).

The clean lines of the Donryu are very evident in these pics.

I would like to know what was thinking the guy with the white robes of the visit.
