The second half of Ghetto Mr. Hunter's inaugural journey with Teresa took them to Japan. While visiting the Tōshō-gū Shrine in Tokyo's Ueno Park,
Ghetto Mr. H. encountered this friendly fellow.

| Nice to meet you, sir! |

Among the features at Tōshō-gū Shrine
is the Flame of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a peace symbol
which commemorates the atomic bomb attacks in Japan.

Thanks again to Teresa for letting a flat Mr. Hunter accompany her to Japan!
