Moi aussi - my title was tongue-in-cheek -
but you knew tht didn't you?
I had a Hiroshige print in my paws once - actually, in my home -
but it was my then husband's inheritance, not mine, and so it
stayed with him. It was the waves, not the mountain..
My ex was a great-great grandson of Commondore Perry and
these were goodies distributed to 3 simblings and mates one Christmas.
We also got a very special Kimono - since I was the actress, it was
decided we should have that. It didn't seem right to take any of those
things.

Well next time you're there, let Hiroshige be your guide:

I utterly loathe, despise, hate and condemn all books whose title is along the
lines of '500 X you must Y before you die'. I will never read, let alone buy, a
book like that, unless it's '500 Bucket-list books you must burn before you go
postal'. I'll decide what I must or must not do, not some feckwit in a
publisher's marketing department.

my inspiration not so lofty...
"According to Books in Print, more books are now published with a title that begins with '101'
than '100'. They usually describe or discuss a list of items, such as 101 Ways to... or 101
Questions and Answers About... . This marketing tool is used to imply that the customer is given a
little extra information beyond books that include only 100 items. Some books have taken this
marketing scheme even further with titles that begin with '102', '103', or '1001'. The number is
used in this context as a slang term when referring to "a 101 document" what is usually
referred to as a statistical survey or overview of some topic."
The trip was in Sept 1983. The journal had an alternate title,
"Birds eat Butter" because a cheeky Canada Jay boldly lit on our picknic table
, picked up almost an entire stick of butter by its paper wrapping and tried to take off
with it. Richard grabbed a nice little funny shot of the scene - my yelling 'no' at the
perp, etc.

Mt Shasta really dominates the horizon from so many vantage points in that general area
- Such a handsome volcano. The first time we went there I titled my travel journal
"101 views of Mt Shasta"
I love that style of Japanese title and have had it in mind for far too long to
produce a series of photos along those lines.
I bought a reprint of a lovely old classic French book last year: 36 Views of
the Eiffel Tower, by Henri Riviere. You can see the pictures here:

The book's still available on Amazon - one for aficionados.
