Kyoto, Japan
M. fuscata and companion species. A few hundred feet up trail on 100' wide flat in open pine woods, free-
ranging M. fusata. Since last December they remained
near feeding ground (Nakajima seemed to be main student
of this). He said moved more widely in spring or fall,
befores and after birth season. Many cherry trees near
and among pines; mostly hardwoods in nearby area
where macaques secure naturally. Have too, people
fed the animals, so very tame. But not obnoxious as
at Takesabiyama - did not grab & deal w/ people; merely
here. Many appears to have start of molt or cream
(also at Takasaki). Mr. Jwata very much interested in
his monkey. He is of breeding mfg. family. He treated me
to lunch & later to few Shotosune (spell?) = make din-
der (fish & vegit, boiled in portions on table). Stayed
at Yoshikawa Inn (Japanese style, most unijzd).
February 12, 1962. Went to Osaka airport and took
CAT DC-6B for Formosa, with stop at Okinawa.
Cloudy.. High swany mountains on Shibusu. Flew over
Kyushu. Rice paddies, terraces, water buffalos, on Formosa.
Taipei city but not tourist oriented. The peculiar
outstanding feature. Buses and public buildings seedy.
Overnight at airline expense; very good. Many U.S. military bases.
February 13, 1962 Via CAT jet to Hong Kong.
Stayed at Swanning House in Hong Kong. All quite
modern, touristy, garish, and in English, though many
touches of Chinese color (food, companions, dress.)
