Dear Fellow Ningyo-tsukai:

   This two week tour added to my 10 completed tours since 1980 add up to 
about 2 years living in Japan.   Hai, Japan is a puppeteer's paradise...excellent 
food, hospitality and appreciative audiences.   The weather in Sendai hovers 
around freezing this time of year and there is much snow, but also much 
sunshine and many people walking the streets.   The workshop participants are 
enthusiastic and the audiences laugh and enjoy the shows.   After a five year 
absence, my linguistic lingerings are returning and I surprise myself at coming up 
with the proper words without thinking.
 
    Japan is a fun place to visit, especially for puppeteers.   Sincerely, 
Jim Gamble
