Yokohama and Yokosuka

[Cathy]

Dear Kenneth,

Have you tried contacting the animator/graphic designer Ryohei Yanagihara
for advice?  He has been passionate about the Yokohama shipping industry
since he was a child and has been working for Mitsui O.S.K. Lines for a long
time now.  I've heard that he still lives in Yokohama.  If anyone would know
what to show at such an event, I bet he would.

Here's a link http://www.mol.co.jp/yanagihara.shtml

The site doesn't just showcase the art that Yanagihara has produced for the
shipping lines, but has a great gallery of old posters for the shipping
industry.

Look forward to hearing more about your project,
Cathy
