Come listen to a bilingual story in Japanese and English!
Bring your children to East Asian Story Time, and enjoy a Kamishibai telling of “How The Years Were Named” or 来年は何どし. This story follows the traditional folktale describing how the years of the Lunar New Year were decided.
A popular form of street theater in the 1930s and post-war Japan, Kamishibai (紙芝居) or “paper play” is a set of illustrated boards or cards that tell a story.
