I found that quite a few pro labs have closed since the last time I updated the list (a few years ago). The list is much shorter now.

ハワイと日本の関係は1881年以降に凄まじい展開となりました。ハワイ国王と明治天皇の会見、日本人の移民、日系人の活躍、観光客の到来、そして1990年代から国内にフラやハワイの文化が大人気でシニアから若者まで習っています。なんという最高な関係。とても嬉しい。

The book is a compilation of many illustrated articles about various people, places, and companies in Hawaii. Lot of interesting tidbits and anecdotes about Jack Lord, Marilyn Monroe’s stopover in Hawaii, Ala Moana Shopping Center, local food and restauramts, etc., etc.

One article called “An Iolani Palace outside Hawaii??” is based on my photos of Iolani Palace (in Honolulu) made of snow at the Sapporo Snow Festival:

The article generously mentions me and my Web site.

The book author also appeared on a local TV talk show (with Andy Bumatai) on March 4, 2008 and showed my picture and mentioned my name. See video:

I have finally started to write a series of photo essays and articles about these two places to which I’m deeply rooted.

Japan and Hawaii seem to have been made for each other–A match made in Heaven. I enjoy and relish the historical and current relationship and affinity between these two “forever friends.”

In 1881, King David Kalakaua visited Japan for 19 days and was befriended by Emperor Meiji. In 1885, Japanese immigrants began to arrive in Hawaii in large numbers. By 1924, over 200,000 Japanese immigrants came. Their descendants reached the highest levels of government and business.

From the 1970s, the second invasion of Japanese came in the form of tourists. Compared to local Japanese-Americans, these authentic Japanese at first looked, well, different.

Then since the 1990s, the hula has became very popular in Japan with both elderly and young women learning how to hula.

To those of us with roots in both Japan and Hawaii, these developments have been nothing short but astounding. With this continuing series of articles and photos, I shall celebrate and honor the Japan-Hawaii connection and my own heritage.

More articles and photos related to the Japan-and-Hawaii connection will come later.

Also, during Sept. and Oct. 2007, parts of our site (especially NewsZONE and iStore) were not working due to server upgrades causing incompatibility. Sorry for the inconvenience. Everything is working now.

全国の写真ギャラリー・博物館や写真賞の一覧、昨年の写真賞の受賞作品、昨年の写真関係の年表、写真団体の名簿、と有名写真家の名簿があります。国内の写真愛好者の不可欠な参考本。素晴らしいです。

この2007年版にはなんと英語解説もある。３ページの英字だけですが、無いよりまし。その英語の質も高い。英語を担当した会社は東京都写真美術館の図録の英文化も担当している。そのアメリカ人社長は私の古い知人。「PhotoGuide Japanをよく参考にしていますよ」と何回も言われたことあります。あとギャラリー・博物館名簿の英文化もしてくれると最高。
