The World of Kamishibai: Japanese Paper Theatre and Storytelling

Join us for a special introduction to the world of Kamishibai, Japan’s traditional and unique form of paper theatre storytelling. Visiting from Japan, two experienced Kamishibai storytellers, Tamachan and Piiman-san, will present an engaging overview of the history and cultural significance of kamishibai, its various styles and formats, and the techniques behind live storytelling performances.
The event will also feature live Kamishibai performances using their storyboards, offering you a rare opportunity to experience this dynamic storytelling tradition through narration, illustration, and theatrical presentation. Whether you are new to Kamishibai or an experienced storyteller, participants of all backgrounds and ages are welcome.

*The event will be held in Japanese, with Japanese-English interpretation provided by Jocelyne Allen.

*JFT Library has special opening hours from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm on the day of the event. Feel free to explore our physical collection before the event!
