Fascinating read! Had no idea. Thank you for writing on this! I find it so dang interesting! My girlfriend and I saw a BBC video that documented a Chinese puppeteer group, and a lot of this art history blew my mind. Shadows and puppets were like the first blockbusters to hit the ancient world streets lol. That in itself sounds like a rich starting point for a fiction! Have a great weekend. Amazing article. - Dar
Thank YOU for the incredibly kind words! And you're totally right about this being a good starting point for a story -- shadow plays and their history seem like the sort of thing that's ripe to explore. Hope you have a great weekend as well.
A delicious article. It's been very useful for me in exploring the styles and techniques for my own and I keep coming back to it for reference.
That's amazing to hear -- thank you. This is honestly the best outcome we could hope for!
