Series Description
T. Mikami, outstanding Japanese artist, skillfully blends the arts of storytelling and brush painting to introduce viewers to Japans history through its folk tales. Mikami, whose popularity throughout the nation was implemented by his appearance in earlier NET series, Japanese Brush Painting, proves his skill as a storyteller during this series, much as he proved his artistic ability through the earlier series. Each episode includes the completion of one folk tale accompanied by brush painting illustrations. The series was produced by station KQED, San Francisco, and should interest young and old alike. The 13 half-hour episodes that comprise the series were originally recorded on kinescope. T. Mikami is an outstanding Japanese artist who is the founder and director of the Japanese Art Center in San Francisco. He is well known for art exhibits in the Far East, New York and San Francisco. Mikami is teaching classes in California and has been director of the International Education Center in Tokyo since 1953. He has had several one-man shows and received the governors prize in Japan.
