Traditional Japanese Storytelling — Kamishibai Cards
Below is a sample of the kamishibai cards being developed by the Stanford Program on International and Cross- Cultural Education. Kamishibai is a traditional method of Japanese storytelling in which a storyteller uses sturdy story cards that feature an image on one side and the story text on the reverse. The Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) is developing full color, illustrated 11″x17″ kamishibai cards with English and Japanese text that tell the story of Sadako Sasaki and her origami cranes.
