Oh, thank you for sharing such beautiful photographs of your mother, and filling in some of her information! The pictures are just breathtaking.

> I added a copy of one of her publicity photos.

It's exquisite!

I added a copy of one of her publicity photos.

> My interest in Takarazuka is related more to family history: I was familiar with Takarazuka and knew that she was a member at one time but didn't start researching the details until recently. I attended a show once and met some of her friends but that was a long time ago (1967!)

How fascinating. If I happen across anything, I'll by all means be more than happy to pass it along!

Oh, I see! I'm sorry if my question seemed tactless; my curiosity overcomes my common sense sometimes. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

I know I would love to see any photos you have, most definitely. Another place to post, if it won't work on the TakaWiki, might be the Vintage Takarazuka community? I don't know, if you're not a livejournal user that might be more hassle than it's worth, though. :)

She is my mother. Tough doing research from the east coast. Trying to pick a photo in costume to post. Also have a copy of a snapshot taken November 1985 of Urashima Utame and Otowa Nobuko who were classmates and close friends: wonder where I should post it?
