Kamishibai
 |  |  |

Having dinner at my parent's with their old friends, the Suetsugus. I took the opportunity to lug over a suitcase of all my spices and sauces that are leftover and I won't use before moving. Before dinner, Koko (Mrs. Suetsugu) did Kamishibai for us...old traditional story-telling. Apparently there are translated versions being sold in the U.S. and becoming popular...

I love your parents house (especially the orange walls!)
Wish I could have been there for the story telling.

I wondered if you would ever consider doing an event like this in Tokyo for foreign children. Is it possible to do this in English? Then foreign children can learn about Japanese folktales and customs in English.
I hope to hear from you
