Cocktail Party

Cocktail Party

The presentation session in the main dining room had finished. A delightful time had been prepared for us. Dr. Toshikatsu Otani invited us to a cocktail party! We then moved to the second hall. This was Baron Toranosuke Furukawa's private room, which featured a stunning chandelier. We enjoyed high-class wine and champagne. The precious cameras and lenses were displayed on a table as hors d'oeuvres, of course.

Great Collection Table

A special collection table was set up with items brought by members of the Nikon Kenkyukai. A rare Yallu Flex camera was a real highlight. I was also surprised to see two Stereo Nikkor cameras. We enjoyed some wine and cocktails and talked about cameras as the evening drew on.
