The day
A storytelling session filled with warm laughter
Monpe no Kai held a storytelling session at Omachi City Library. Seven members and five families joined, including twins, creating a relaxed time for children and adults together.
The kamishibai was performed by the Aizawa couple. Their exchange pulled the room in and filled it with gentle laughter.
The storytelling was the Mount Nunobiki tale “Led by an Ox to Zenkoji,” told by Nobuko Hirabayashi, a long-time supporter of Monpe no Kai.
