World Kamishibai Day, in Tokyo
The Fifth World KAMISHIBAI Day in Tokyo
This year's World KAMISHIBAI Day event in Tokyo was another success！
It was a full two and a half hours of fun through kamishibai, some of the works
performed in French, Arabic, Chinese, and English.
We had nearly 40 registrations on the day, and over 50 people registered online.
People from Ireland, India, Germany, France, Malaysia, and some more countries
shared the joy of kamishibai together. Thank you very much for your participation!
