We have dozens of classic kamishibai collections with the original cards! Available for rental for exhibitions.

Introduction of Kami Shibai Artists

  • Our kamishibai storytellers will travel anywhere in Japan to perform at parties and all other kinds of events (hotels, children's events, schools, amusement parks, department stores, supermarkets, etc.)

  • We also handle orders to deliver "mizuame" rice crackers and other snacks of yesteryear to the performance.

  • In addition, we have collections of original picture cards used at street performances, large picture boards, "tachie" (the predecessors of kamishibai), prewar educational kamishibai and other items. These are available for use in exhibitions at museums, libraries and events.
