the nippon gallery will exhibit the work of japanese paper cutout artist shu kobo. mr. kubo is well regarded amongst japan’s modern art scene and his work has appeared on postage stamps and on new year’s greeting cards in japan. kubo creates the paper cutouts using handmade japanese washi paper, which he has dyed a variety of colors. he approaches the paper sheet by sheet, creating a two dimensional work by precisely cutting fine lines with a knife. kubo has recently expanded his techniques by combining washi with western paper materials, resulting in quite remarkable three-dimension works. also, by layering multiple layers of ultra-thin washi, an original color scheme is developed adding texture and flair to the subject. the themes explored in kubo’s work are largely ‘japonism on paper.’ he captures the dynamics of the seasonal traditions of japanese life and food in a fresh and beautiful new way. his work has gained a wide appreciation among the japanese, especially with children.
drunken monkey pole form of kung fu is a chinese martial art, and one of the variations of the monkey style. this style is different from zui quan (drunken fist), as the practitioner is imitating gestures of an intoxicated monkey, rather than a human fighter. also, drunken monkey does not begin with drunken-like gestures, but rather the drunken aspect enters the forms in the middle section when the practitioner plays the movements of a monkey drinking stolen wine.
although tv speaker announces dadao, she is mistaken. this is guandao (halberd) while dadao is merely a sabre. a guandao kwandao or kuantao is a type of chinese pole weapon that is currently used in some forms of chinese martial arts. in chinese it is properly called a ??? yan yue dao ("reclining moon blade"), the name under which it always appears in texts from the song to qing dynasties such as the wujing zongyao and huangchao liqi tushi. it is comparable to a european fauchard and consists of a heavy blade with a spike at the back and sometimes also a notch at the spike's upper base that can catch an opponent's weapon. in addition there are often irregular serrations that lead the back edge of the blade to the spike. the blade is mounted atop a 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5-6 foot) long wooden or metal pole with a pointed metal counter weight used to balance the heavy blade and for striking on the opposite end. the blade is very deeply curved and therefore unlike most polearms, solely useful for sweeping cuts where it relies on range and power.
