SOME SHOTS TAKEN AT THE TOEI FACILITY

Hiroshi: "I first visited Toei with my mother's cousin in December of 1959 at their original shop in Ueno in Downtown Tokyo. Later they moved to Machiya, still in downtown Tokyo. Now they are in Kawaguchi City." These photos were taken this year, October 2005.
