This booklet about Kabuki is #7 in the much collected series of booklets on Japanese topics. The surprising part is the yapped edges -- they're here!! I did repair two small tears with small pieces of archival tape on the back, but this is miraculous, as most yapped edges get lots of tears and often pieces fall off. Others end up being trimmed.The text is very detailed and covers, among others, these subjects: how to appreciate Kabuki, characteristics of Kabuki, the machinery of the Kabuki stage, principle Kabuki plays, Kabuki techniques, symbolism, the story value of Kabuki and more.

Rex Beach, a popular writer of the day, has a complete novel here titled "Padlock: A Novel About Today's Morals." But what's really good is the list of well-known authors. Theodore Roosevelt tells the story of the journey he and his family took to "unknown Asia." Rebecca West had a provocative title for her submission -- "I, Rebecca West, Regard Marriage With Fear and Horror!"

Seller ID: 4138

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Fine condition

This is one of many ethnic heritage monographs based on a single culture. They have never been easy to find, though I once had six all at once.

This isn't a booklet, but it was helpful to ask writers from these new nationalities to talk about their lives and ethnicity. As Cleveland began to grow with many Asian immigrants -- Japan, China, Korea, Filipino and Vietnamese -- the books discussed culture, ...

In it she discusses her endeavors to hire Chinese household help. Do check out the ad on the left hand side of the second picture. You'll KNOW which one! :-) Magazine is tightly bound with clean pages and relative little wear to paper cover. Minor soiling, a small tear to...
