At the end of the December, in the Japan has finished the demonstration of the 9 series of this television drama (totally there are 13 series).
As I heard,  All Japan was astonished by the beauty of our St. Petersburg palaces: Ecaterina, Alexander Palace, Palace of Grand Duke Vladimir, Ksheshinskaya Palace, Yusupov Palace, Pavlovsk , Polovtsev palace etc.
I really hope to have a chance to show this quite unique TV drama not only in Japan, but in Russia, Europe and America.

If some channel in Europe or UK would be interested in this piece of work, (it is truly that this drama is very well made), NHK with pleasure will sell it.
So, If some channel is interested in this, pls contact me.

One volume per 1000$is very cheap for Russia.

I started this new topic, because Japan is not only the Otsu.
I would be very grateful, if somebody would help me to find any sources about the Japanese dimplomats in St. Petersburg 1890-1904 years.
Especially , I am interested in Nisshi,Hayashi,Komura, Kurino.
Thank you very much in advance.

The Alexander Palace / Re: Arts of the table of the Alexander Palace
« on: December 02, 2007, 01:17:27 PM »
Now the former Lomonosof factory of Peterburg started to make replicas of the palace's  porcelaine.
So anyone could buy it in the special shops.
But the price for such replicas is very high.
maybe it is better to buy the original one from the French auction :)

Tsarskoe Selo Palaces / Re: St. Petersburg imperial country residences news

Please do not forget, that Agate rooms were only one place which remained after the war without any changes .
So the scope of restoration work in Agate rooms and Maple room are not the same.
