[Great Nippon Travel Agent]
[Tokyo]: Great Nippon Travel Agent, 1999.Photo album for a Sydney family’s trip to Northern Japan together with a 10 leaf itinerary (printed recto only). Of particular note is the signed introductory letter, which even accounting for rough translation offers a concerning glimpse into the tour: “We hope that you behave reasonably well in front of our chief tour conductor,.. not insisting so much with your traditional habit back home. You are encouraged to consume as much alcohol as you wish while traveling by car, unless you are taking your turn on the wheel, otherwise you as well as your tour conductors will be in trouble with the local police. Your chief conductor,.. already has enough remarkable records with the police without your additional helps to make it even more memorable from the police’s point of view.”
