Hamlet in Japanese

Hamlet in Japanese
 

I visited a wonderful bookshop yesterday and picked up a copy of Hamlet in Japanese, the typeface is beautiful, as is the page layout; which is perfect for my planned use of the pages as a canvas for my black, Japanese-inspired prints. I think the mixture of great Western literature in elegant Japanese characters is quite appropriate.
I also found some old Japanese vocabulary workbooks to make mini-envelopes from.

The stories are indeed universal, but can you imagine the challenge of translation!

I think this is an example of how truly universal Shakespeare is - regardless of language, location, time, the stories are still relevant and interesting! I'd love to see the actual pages, I bet the inside is stunning.
