Monkey Magic was a wonderful TV series – based on the ancient Chinese legend tracing the origins of Buddhism – which follows the adventures of the young monk Tripitaka and his disciples Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy on their journey from China to India to fetch the holy scriptures which will save the world. Xuanzang Sanzang or Tripitaka was played by Japanese actress Masako Natsume wearing a bald-cap.
I have no information on the makeup credits for this series: if anyone can help, please email me.
