The Kamishibai is an ingenious and effective instrument for cultural and reading entertainment. It is a theatre for images that comes from Japan, an important
work tool for storytellers. It consists of a little wooden suitcase and some illustrated boards; each one of them has the illustration on a side and the text on the back: when the storyteller is reading the story, he can see the text, while the
audience watches the illustrations. In few seconds a desk becomes a stage and you can become a storyteller and an
actor, creating the magical atmosphere of the theatre but maintaining the intimacy of reading.
How to use it Insert the illustrated tables in the gap you find on the side of the wooden theatre. Each table is numbered on the back. The text that refers to the first illustration is on the back of the last table. The narrator is behind the theatre and reads the story, making the first table slide behind the last one. This action must be repeated with each table, trying to give the right rhythm to the story. A faded light and background music can help to catch the audience attention. Wooden suitcase: 40x31x7 cm 75,00 €
