Actually when we saw the title "upcoming treat" we thought you were going
on vacation again.....  :>')

What a wonderful addition.  I think all would agree that these treasers are
fun.  It is great to have some idea of what is coming and when the news is
such as you presented here, it is really special.  The only negative I see
is everyone constantly asking, when..when...when.  I like the advance notice.

Cheers

Baren,

Dave wrote regarding some new exciting material in the Encyclopedia's
future, plus a new website to explore.

I think mentioning it keeps  us excited, Dave, especially for
new people like me who want to learn.  It's good to have something
to look forward to.  I remember when Ray mentioned in a past
Baren he had some new stuff to add to the Encyclopedia, and it
was great when it finally appeared and it made the wait worth
it.  Everynight I explore the web for new stuff on woodcutting,
so you're mentioning this makes future searching all the sweeter.

Subject: [Baren 710] Baren 706: an upcoming treat; Kuniyosho at PMA 

Dave,
	Knowing about these additions to the Encyclopedia provides a
wonderful feeling of anticipation... like a child waiting to open
Christmas morning's presents.  Don't keep us in the dark.  We'll
appreciate Horimoto-san's addition to the Encyclopedia all the more now
that we know it's coming and have some idea of the wealth of information
he has to offer.

I went to see the Kuniyoshi show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on
Sunday.  Phenominal.  The show is somewhat of a sequal to a show at PMA a
few years back which featured the work of Kuniyoshi's student Yoshitoshi.

Not only does "Heroes and Ghosts" feature Kuniyoshi's prints, but also a
number of his paintings as well as study drawings for the prints.  Most
interesting to me were the varying results in the appearance of his
prints over the course of Kuniyoshi's career as he worked with differt
cutters, printers and publishers.   
	The prints for the exhibition were drawn from private and Museum
collections in the US, UK, Germany and the Netherlands.  The print that
kept drawing me back across the gallery was the oban triptych "Taira
ghosts attacking Yoshitsune's ship."  Photographs in books cannot do this
print justice.
	I know I've said it before, but if you happen to be anywhere near
Philadelphia in May and June, don't miss this exhibition.


Sla/n go tamall,
