What is a Kamishibai?
A Kamishibai (Japanese for “paper theater,” from kami = paper and shibai = theater) is a traditional Japanese storytelling theater.

It consists of a small, stage-like wooden frame with hinged doors, into which printed or hand-drawn picture cards in DIN A3 format are inserted.

As the storyteller narrates a story, the pictures are pulled out or changed one after another so that the audience can visually follow the plot.
