I thought it odd when Rebb described it before because I enlarged the photo and found no colors at the bottom. I looked at your message, and I thought it even stranger. I wondered why Ashok said the same thing. Ahhh. I enlarged the photo further to 400% and at last, I saw it! My eyes must be deteriorating.

You were able to meet the speaker of the poem at the level in which she probably wrote the poem.

Not many Japanese spoke English then especially women, and also very very few women acted for Independence. I’m not talking about 1% of the population.
