Yesterday, I was participated in this event, and had many ideas from speakers.
ReplyDeleteEspecially, a question of "how tradition the puppet skill to the next generation?" was the biggiest and critical. And I got the idea that "traditional skil was also once a new skill, so that don't stick to a word "traditional" more than needs and should stick to needs of today."
