Painted screens? Tatami? Hostess in kimono?
Or was it just a publicity photo?
Ever since I studied Japan in 4th grade (in 1968, oh my), I've wanted to fly to Japan on JAL. I've been plenty of times on UA and ANA, and their F is very nice, but for some reason I thought JAL would be over the top.
Last fall I flew NRT-ORD (old F) and everything was superb. Really flawless. But I was a little disappointed that the cabin, while quite lovely, was not Japanese in style at all. More like 'international modern'. Was I just holding onto a Madison Ave this-is-what-white-people-want-to-think-the-Orient-is-like 1950's dream that never really existed?
