Hall-Kamishibaï

Meet little K - Discover the art of kamishibai

The Musée des Contes invites you to discover the art of kamishibai at the 16th edition of Japan Impact, a form of Japanese storytelling that first appeared almost a century ago. 📜

Back then, storytellers carried their little wooden theaters on the luggage racks of their bicycles, captivating crowds of children in the streets of Japanese cities with their illustrated tales. At Japan Impact, Vevey-based Le Musée des contes et récits made the trip to captivate you with their narration of Japanese tales and legends. 🎭

And why not try your hand at this art form? Take your place as a reader, and in turn become a storyteller, transporting your listeners for the duration of a tale: from the depths of the ocean to the summit of Mount Fuji, populated by humans … or fantastic creatures.
