On the second day, we received a gift from TARS to ARC members: a special green book for each member titled Arthur Ransome: Japanese Connection.
As mentioned in the Autobiography, Ransome had two Japanese friends in London early this century; a poet Yone Noguchi and a painter Yoshio Makino.
Several writings, letters, pictures, and other information on these two people and Ransome are contained in this green book, with the warm message from Brigit Sanders.
Makino Yoshio has been one of my favorite watercolour painter for several years, even before I came to know Makino and Ransome knew each other. Unfortunately, I have seen just a few paintings exhibited so far, but Ransomites around London might be interested in his exhibition being held from today.

Well, thank you again TARS for your kind surprise!
