The Way of Washi Tales tells the story of a collaboration across cultures, including how washi and the rich history of the craft informed the performances of the theater artists, while their ongoing work together
as a company resulted in deep personal bonds and experiences. Through
backstage scenes and over two hundred photographs, the book explores the
fascinating process of long-term cultural exchange, including the complex
challenges of bilingual performance and the rewards of building a “washi
family.” In personal essays, Ibe and Thoron reflect on how profoundly a
simple natural material – washi – has shaped Japanese culture and
influenced the trajectory of their lives.
Book is also available through The Legacy Press website.
