Overview

Sōroku Kimura, as known as “Kimura Malini” (1894-1965) and some magicians left a bunch of handwritten notes and recently they were found from the Shigeo Takagi’s collection. Possibly these notes were inherited from Shōtarō Matsuda.

All notes are letter-sized and the papers are mainly fragile straw papers. It seems that some are written as a draft for the Yoshio Kuse’s Kijutsu Kyōhon in 1935.
