April 12: “The Tubmaker Who Flew To The Sky” and Teru Teru Bōzu

Spring is said to be the best time to travel in Japan. Cherry blossoms are in bloom, and people head outdoors to enjoy the transient beauty of the Sakura through Hanami or flower viewing picnics with family and friends. However, spring rain can spoil even the best-intentioned Sakura spotting efforts.

Join us for a kamishibai reading of “Okeya no Ten Nobori” or “The Tubmaker Who Flew to the Sky” to discover who makes the rain.

Following the kamishibai presentation, make your own Teru Teru Bōzu ornament to help ensure your special day is rain-free!
