Event Details
Join us for a Japanese storytelling tradition called kamishibai. (kami = paper; shibai = theatre). A storyteller stands behind a little wooden theatre and reveals a series of illustrations as they narrate a story, doing all the characters’ voices and the many sound effects. Twenty-six (26) library locations will host kamishibai story times for all ages.
Presented by Write Out Loud between September 25 - November 20.
Click here for the schedule of Kamishibai performances across the San Diego Public Library system.
Enjoy also nine kamishibai videos including world folktales and two original stories set during the Japanese American Incarceration.
