Natsume Photography Studio

The widow from the Sekiguchi bakery mentioned that Natsume Photo Studio was still in business. This shop was started by my mother's cousin, who with her husband, were professional photographers. Her mother was known to be a painter of Japanese beautifies. We went to Kagurazaka, the area of Tokyo where the photo studio was located but couldn't fit. Across the street from the supposed address was a small photo studio so we went up to see if there was a connection. There was. The photographer was an assistant of the original Natsume Photo Studio, and had taken over the business. He showed us some old camera equipment and was delighted to meet a relative of the original owners. Mom decided to commission a studio portrait of the three of us. I look forward to getting the photo!
