Kiping: Ornamental Edible Rice Wafer by Reynaldo Gamboa Alejandro (Out of Print)

Out of print title

This book is a compact 28 pages, with about half devoted to full-colour photographs and artwork. Kiping is essentially a thin wafer made of rice flour, often with liquid pigments added into the crepe-like batter to produce a dazzling display of colours. As a primary feature of the Pahiyas Festival, Alejandro and Santos note that kiping äóìis possibly the best reflection of the religio-artistic soul of the jovial Lucbanin. And unlike other art forms developed around religious festivals (i.e. paper-mache for the Higantes Festival), kiping seems to have originated from within, without any relation to the other popular arts in Asia and in Spain, the authors add.
A Philippine import.
