TAKOHACHI: Kamishibai Storytelling on the Big Screen with Live Music

Join us for TAKOHACHI’s Kamishibai storytelling on the big screen with live music—fun vibes guaranteed! TAKOHACHI Presents: Kamishibai Storytelling on the Big Screen with Live Mus Experience Kamishibai storytelling brought to life on the big screen — with live Japanese music performed by Takohachi. This special production blends traditional Kamishibai (紙芝居) picture‑story theater with contemporary stage presentation, featuring original artwork by illustrator Keiko Tosaka projected in full cinematic scale. You’ll enjoy a rich mix of shamisen, shinobue, taiko, and narration, creating an immersive performance suitable for all ages. This is a rare chance to see Kamishibai in a theater setting, combining visual art, music, and storytelling into one unforgettable show. This program is supported in part by the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles, through their Arts & Culture Mini Grant, whose generosity helps us bring Japanese cultural arts to our community. Bring friends, family, and anyone who loves Japanese culture, music, or visual storytelling. We look forward to sharing this beautiful new production with you.
