Mail art from John Held, Jr. back from HOT Japan

Yes, John was there in Japan...when record high temps were blazin'...very HOT!

It must have been a great exhibit however , honoring Shozo Shimamoto.

And look at the details of the flyer:

Who might be all these famous heroes of Gutai? And the date of the photo?

Then there are these photos, described in Japanese...wondering who and where? It is 1967.
