Two branches of the same tree. Kamishibai man from Osaka meets Magical Lantern man from Aberystwyth. With illustrator and storyteller Pyonky Nishiziri from Spice Arthur 702, the shining highlight of Beyond the Border 2014, who glowed more brightly than a light sabre, and who also likes teacup stains on his artwork. Many thanks to all at BtB and Crick Crack Club who found the inspiration and cash to bring Pyonky to Wales. Photo; Elsa Davies
