April 6: “The Tubmaker Who Flew To The Sky” and Den-den Daiko

As the old proverb goes, “April showers, bring May flowers.” Come and hear the story of “The Tubmaker Who Flew To The Sky” and learn about a sleepy thunder god, kaminari-sama, who makes rainstorms. Following the kamishibai presentation, make your own “den-den daiko” drum like the one kaminari-sama uses in the story so you can summon rain and thunder!

4月6日:紙芝居「おけやのてんのぼり」とでんでんだいこ作り

“April showers, bring May flowers”。一雨ごとに緑が鮮やかになり、春の気配が増す4月。紙芝居「おけやのてんのぼり」のゆかいな話で笑った後は、「でんでん太鼓」を作って、紙芝居のかみなりさまのように雨や雷を呼び寄せてみよう!
