Official synopsis Publisher
Just as best-selling books today are made into movies, The Eight Dog Heroes became a Kabuki play that was produced many times with different actors. Many artists drew designs for woodblock prints showing the poses and expressions of the actors and the colorful costumes and stage sets. When you color the pictures, you can follow the colors they used or try new combinations. The last page is blank so that you can draw your own picture of a thrilling scene that you would enjoy seeing on stage or in a movie. What costumes would you design for the heroes of your favorite adventure story?
