December 6: “Hats for the Jizos” and Festive Holiday Kasa Hat

Join us for a kamishibai reading of "Kasajizo” or “Hats for the Jizo" to learn about Shiwasu, the ancient name for December in Japan.

Shiwasu (師走) directly translates to monks (師) running about (走). While monks are known for being wise, calm and serene, toward the end of the year, they, like everyone else, become wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

Take a moment to relax and find inner peace by making your own Festive Holiday Kasa Hat with wishes for a peaceful year end.
