Hi Martin,

Tradition and folklore have produced and maintained a lot of art to this
day. From clothing, furniture, china, paintings, handicrafts, etc.But I
can already see that there is a lot of approval for a change, so
yesterday I revised the whole thing again .. I'll write an extra email
about it.

Best regards
Miche101
