Hitachi Family Snapshots No. 2

Today some photos of my father-in-law. We like to joke that he is a bit Yakuza-ppoi (meaning there’s a certain Yakuza-ness to his appearance), which the sunglasses and cigarettes seem to highlight. That’s probably why I love the photos of him from this trip where he’s holding the umbrella, which help bring out what a sweet and kind man he really is.
