Nihon Buyo booklet - for Katerina Nikoltsou

I had big plans for this booklet but the paper turned out to crumble when folded, which is fine for the vintage effect, but still, so damn difficult to handle. It still want to use it though...

And it cannot be folded flat for scanning or storage of any kind...well,

maybe in a special gift box just for its safe keeping. for now, it sits on my

shelf, being appreciated by mousie.

The booklet arrived in good condition, but it must be handled very carefully.

It is a wonderful texure, smell and just enchanting! there are crumbled edges,

but sooooo vintage that way! And a few "m' marks add an asemic note along

the lower edge...see?

Thank you my genki people.

I once sat through a whole afternoon of Nihon Buyo performance, and one indeed needs a serious amount of Gambatte not to fall asleep. Well, I actually liked it a lot.

I have a bit more of that paper left, let's see if I can tame it :-)

This is really wonderful Marie. The crumpled paper adds to the antique look of the book!
