Kamishibai

Kamishibai (“paper-theater”) is a form of storytelling that originated in Japan. It consists of large (15” x 10.5”) illustrated cards with text on the back of each card. A storyteller reads the text on the back of the card stack, pulls the card from the front of the stack and slides it to the back, reads text from there and repeats the process as the story goes.  From traditional to contemporary stories, our wide ranging collection of kamishibai stories can be used as teaching materials of Japanese language and culture.
