Highly recommended is this compact exhibition of photographs of Ernest ‘Papa’ Hemingway by Robert Capa. They first met each other during the Spanish Civil War, and remained close friends until Capa’s untimely death in 1954. ‘Papa & Capa’ is on at the Leica Store Ginza in Tokyo, if you just happen to be passing through…

Credibility, dependability and loyalty…
From the earliest times of the British monarchy and court, the most skilled and talented trades people in the country were rewarded for their loyal service to the crown. The first rewards for this service were Royal Charters granted to the trade guilds and livery companies. The earliest recorded Royal Charter was granted by Henry II to the Weavers’ Company in 1155. In 1394 Dick Whittington helped obtain a Royal Charter for his own Company, the Mercers, who traded in luxury fabrics. By the 15th century Royal tradesmen were recognised with a Royal Warrant of Appointment. To this day the Royal Appointment is seen as a mark of quality and rightly so.
