Photo 15, Young women on the subway to
Shinjuku. Steve Olsen's theorem: life in the West is like living in a
harmonic potential well, while life in Japan is like living in a square well.
The two women on the right are typical of Steve's theorem. The women on the
left is one of the very few we saw who might aspire to a "harmonic" life style.
In the
East Shinjuku
area (Hanazono-jinja shrine) we caught the closing minutes
of a performance art
concert featuring a rock band in silver lame kimonos, before heading into the
Golden Gai for a quiet drink -- outside the square well.
