Comment from participants after we came back from Fukushima
2012.03.29
As a British person, with no prior experience of Kamishibai,
I was pleasantly astonished by the spell this unique storytelling form cast over the children who witnessed it.
Not only did the stories that had been chosen show them ways of overcoming difficulties,
the theatrical experience itself provided its audience with a supportive and exciting environment in which to express themselves.
The performances I was involved in also had an international dimension, with performances from myself, an American, and a Frenchman - which I felt was a great way of reminding Japan that the world continues to support it
