Viewers are invited to operate a carousel slide projector. As each "slide" advances, animated photographs of my father, and mother, in 1950s Japan are projected onto a vintage projection screen. A blow-up of a letter from Sam Kusumoto, Chairman Emeritus of the Minolta Corporation, stands nearby serving as the "narrator" of the story.
