✧In autumn 1986, Freddie visited Japan with Jim Hutton and Joe Fanelli. Jim’s recollections give us some wonderful glimpses of their holiday, exploring gardens, taking photographs, and getting ready for an evening out.

✧Misa arranged a trip by bullet train to Kyoto, where they visited the gardens of the Golden Pavilion. Jim remembered them spending hours examining the flowers and shrubs. Freddie’s favourite azaleas weren’t in bloom, but the carefully shaped trees fascinated him, and he was mesmerised by the golden carp in the koi pool.

✧Freddie enthusiastically photographed everything in sight, although mastering the camera took a little practice. According to Jim, the first few rolls they had developed were wildly out of focus. Once Freddie got the hang of it, they couldn’t stop him taking pictures by the dozen. 📷♡

✧At the Tokyo boutique Beverly Hills, Freddie spent more than two hours choosing silk ties, including white ones costing over £75 each. Jim recalled that Freddie had never owned a tie before, then bought around a hundred! But he couldn’t knot them, so whenever he wanted to wear one, he’d call out, “Jim! Help me, will you?”

✧Getting dressed for dinner with Misa and a friend at a rooftop restaurant required more ingenuity. Freddie wanted to wear a new shirt that was badly creased, so Jim and Joe improvised with a metal hot plate used to keep snacks warm. Turning it upside down, they managed to press his shirt!

“Clever bitch, aren’t you?” said Freddie.
“I have my uses!” Jim replied. 🤭

✧The holiday also included a visit to a Japanese production of Cats, with Freddie photographed alongside members of the cast, another lovely moment from their time in Japan.
