kamishibai storytelling - fun with fuzzy friends photoListen to Japanese stories that feature animals! These stories include themes of honesty, friendship, and bravery.

Kamishibai is a traditional method of storytelling in Japan using a set of story picture cards in a small wooden stage.

January 9 - The Sloth’s Home/The Mother Cat

January 16 - Buying Mittens/The Tongue Cut Sparrow

January 23 - The Old Man Who Made Trees Bloom/The Mouse Wedding

January 30 - Kon and Pon

In olden days before the era of televisions, Kamishibai was very popular entertainment for children, and storytellers, also candy sellers, came on bicycles to perform on the streets.

Although these street performers are no longer to be found, Kamishibai is still a popular and appreciated form of storytelling and oral tradition in Japan today.

Please note that our calendar is subject to change without notice. Check back for future events.
