Kamishibai Storytelling, Most Sundays and Wednesdays

Join us for Kamishibai storytelling! Kamishibai is a traditional method of storytelling in Japan using a set of story picture cards in a small wooden stage. Before televisions, Kamishibai was popular entertainment for children, and storytellers, who also sold candy, came on bicycles to perform on the streets. Although these street performers are no longer around, Kamishibai is still a popular oral tradition in Japan today.
