Asian Art Museum blog goes live

I mentioned earlier that I was working on a blog for the Asian. I’m sure it will continue to evolve and get refined as we figure what works and what doesn’t, but we have now announced the blog, and there is more and more content going up, including:

Education director Deb Clearwaters on tea master Sen So-oku coming to the museum
Assistant registrar Cristina Lichauco on preparing objects for the Samurai to be shipped from Japan to San Francisco
Retail expert Nicole Harvey on Japanese glass floats arriving for sale during the samurai show
PR specialist Jennifer Yin on saying good-bye to our visitors from Bhutan
Graphic designer Jason Jose on a favorite samurai film.
and more . . .

GOOD work! I love the Samauri dog armor! Did they fly hawks like the nobility did in Medieval Europe? If so, I wonder if their hawks had some sort of “armor” as well. If it moves, put a helmet on it?

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
