Description | Japanese juggler at St. Martin's Hall |
Details |
The light-fingered Japanese artist, Asi-Kitch-San makes little paper butterflies and keeps them hovering in the air by the wind of a pair of fans causing them to fly to and fro, to settle on flowers, and to rise again, seemingly with the easy motions of life. The perfomance is accompanied with the music of the Japanese guitar, drum and other instruments.
