John~
This write sent me to the shelves of my mementos ... my mother-in-love left me a beautiful Sake Cup, gorgeously adorned on the outside with Japanese artistry ... she was quite the 'prude' and told me that she had never looked ... but that if I held the cup up and looked through to the bottom of it held up to the light ... I would see a 'naked lady' ... well, I wasn't as prudish as my mother-in-love (not quite) ... so I did look~

At the bottom of the cup was a gorgeous cameo portrayal of a lovely, lovely Japanese lady, made visible only by the thickening of the porcelain at the bottom of the Sake Cup~
What a beauty my mother-in-love missed~

I would imagine that no one else who reads this would have this tangible memory to caress~

Thank you for sending me rummaging among a very pleasant memory~
