Discover kamishibai, Japanese paper theatre, at Japan Impact 2026! 📖

Do you like telling stories or drawing? Would you like to find out how screens capture your attention? Try your hand at creating a simple illustrated story, in the style of Japanese paper theatre!

Philippe Robert, kamishibai artist, actor and singer, will help you, as in a manga workshop, to bring your story to life (expression, movement, framing) and to act out the dialogues or sound effects, or even add a mini sung credits sequence for the more daring among you!

For young people, adults, teachers, librarians, facilitators, artists or just for fun: this is not a drawing competition!
