I went to a cocktail party tonight (on Founder's Day, which is Tane Matsukata's birthday) and snapped some archival photos on display.
From the 1950s.
From the 1960s, dancing around the maypole in front of the Matsukata family home, which was built in the early 1900s and survived the war. Now it's the recently earthquake-proofed admin building.
From the 1970s, Miss Matsukata and students.
Lucinda's kindergarten class in 2007-8. Lucinda is in the second row behind Rhen, the boy in the blue shirt. Compare this photo to the 1950s one; the school has fulfilled the goal of selecting students from many nations.

hi. My sister and I attended NIS from 1979 through 1985, and that is the two of us in that picture, third from the top. It's probably when Kristine was kindergarten and I was in second grade, so sometime in the 80s. Kristine is sitting next to Miss Matsukata, and I am next to Kristine with the ponytails. Such a surprise to come across it during a search for Tane Matsukata!!

That is amazing! Thanks for sending me a note about this photo, as I had no way of knowing the children. / Jessica.
