Brett visits Japan part 2

(Retrospection)
The second (or 3rd, if you count the waterfall pictures) series of Brett's visit to Japan in the Spring of 2003. The previous pictures were all inside of my town in Ajimu. These pictures are from the surrounding area. For example, the first two pics are of the Usa shrine (mentioned in the previous post).

Good to have you in Japan Brett. You should visit again. And if anyone else fancies coming over, I'm in Japan for one more year at least, and we have a spare bedroom in the apartment.

Since the 1960s, Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips has become very controversial, because of its portrayal of the Japanese and Bugs' attitude and casual violence toward them. Despite its dated anti-Japanese slant (in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor drawing the United States directly into World War II against the Axis powers), and because the cartoon was not one of The Censored Eleven, it was occasionally shown on television in syndicated packages with other pre-1948 Warner cartoons that were under the ownership of Associated Artists Productions. It debuted on home video in December 1991 on the first Golden Age of Looney Tunes laser disc collection. The niche market format did not cause a stir, but when the 5 disc set was later issued in the more accessible VHS format on 10 separate tapes, Japanese rights groups protested its distribution, and both releases were withdrawn. Reissues for both formats replaced the cartoon with Racketeer Rabbit. The VHS reissue combined volumes 4 and 7 of the 10 tape set.
