Revolutionary of the Kamishibai World
A kamishibai troupe active nationwide with a focus on the Kansai region—holders of the world record for the largest number of original kamishibai productions. Through kamishibai performances and the creation of original kamishibai stories, they actively contribute to building momentum for and enlivening the Expo.
We aim to use the Expo as an opportunity to rekindle nationwide interest in the charm of kamishibai and to promote it to the world, leaving such an impact that, once the Expo ends, people will look back and wonder, “What was that kamishibai all about?” We hope that this will prompt people everywhere to appreciate that, while cutting‑edge technology is amazing, what truly matters is human energy—and through that recognition, contribute to world peace.
