Kenichi Higashino’s life work is the practice of Patua: a master of the picture scroll. The origin of the painted scroll is very ancient. Nowadays this art form is still used, mainly in the West Bengal and Bihar states of India. In Bengali,"Pat" means "scroll" and "Patua" means "Painter". The Patua is a kind of minstrel. He goes from village to village, with a bag containing several scrolls. He gathers together the villagers around him and unrolls his paintings, never showing more than two or three images at a time, and he sings the painted story. The story is shown in sequence, like a story board or a comic strip. In this way the Patua earns his living.
