royal
horse carriage. (Abdi Dalem) When I asked Mr. Atmosudiro to take shots with the horse carriage, he started to give worship as shown above. It seemed to be ENDLESS. Mr. Sarwanto suggested this elder staff to stand up for shooting as shown left. It looks peculiar for new ages of Japanese people.

"Retro" is a name for lady.
