DESCRIPTION

Caption on reverse [translation]: "Touring the West After Coronation. Hidemi Kon and Hideo Kobayashi. Mr. Hidemi Kon, who is famous for his book "A Night in Hawaii," came to Honolulu last night with his best friend, the critic Hideo Kobayashi. They were on their way back from a tour of the West. Talk Between Kon and Kobayashi. 'We left Japan Christmas Eve last year and stayed in Europe for five months. The schedule was so busy; we had no time to go out drinking.
"During our stay we attended the Cannes film festival and the coronation ceremony of the Queen of the U.K. It was disappointing to see so many Japanese there. We traveled in Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Holland. We were able to gather a lot of stories, but it was very tiring. We were planning to stay in Hawaii for a week to relax, however, traveling more than 6 months made us anxious to go home.' Both Kon (left) and Kobayashi (right) will leave for Japan by air tomorrow night at 10 p.m."
