Chinese Folk Art - shadow play

Just another interesting shadow art I've been thinking of, which could be as an inspiring source for me on how a shadow could actually be dressed up.
This folk art is widely spread, which uses the folk handiworks: leather silhouette figure and highligting background. Shadow play is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment using opaque, often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create the illusion of moving images.
