When we got back we had a very refreshing hot cup of tea and
then went into the living room for Sukiyaki. They had an electric
plate in the center of the table, a large plate of thin slices of beef
another large plate with vegetables, onion, a riot of water cress and
stringy stuff, on a try the soya sauce, sugar and a very sweet
white wine. While they cooked it we all ate a spinach salad,
cold spinach and shrimps. They cooked the thing together. He

pickle, egg plant and radish etc. tea and then oranges in the
other room. We looked at various beautiful books of repoductions
of Japanese art, and talked and had a very pleasant evening.
When we started to leave, they insisted we have another cup of
tea and then Ur?inatsee? took us to the station and insisted
he go with us to Tokyo and put us in a taxi. I can imagine
how many people from say Brookline or Newton would go
way into Park Street and put their guests into a taxi for their
hotel. He also is going to take us Monday afternoon to a ski
store to show us what kind of equipment they have.

Today it has rained all day long, but we were glad of a
quiet day, for we have done a good deal for the first week, and
??inting hard so many hours is a bit trying in itself. We
slept late having breakfast at ten and then read while our
suite was being made up in the library where they have all
the periodicals. There was some mistake and our room didn't
