In an old Japanese settlement, life, despite its isolation and rugged
industry must have been comfortable and full of sweet smells, A

All manner of skin creams, scents and lotions pampered both men and

impression of everything edible being drowned in soy sauce and to
relieve the monotony a vast consumption of whisky and wine with a
dash of opium.

One thing is sure - no history books or grandmas give such a lively
and personal account of the good old days as do those hard earned
bottles and pots,
