Killing green: an account of hand papermaking in China

Uittreksel

"[Elaine Koretsky's] remarkable journeys have taken her from the Taklimakan and Gobi Deserts to the Himalayas. Over the course of eighteen field expeditions, she has located forty-two, often remote villages that represent unbroken traditions of papermaking by hand. She interviewed the papermakers, recorded their histories, and documented their processes in both film and digital formats, and in print ... 'Killing green' chronicles many of the trips that Elaine has made to China over more than a quarter of a century"--Back cover blurb.
