You are right. Kamishibai can be used to convey any story or message. Archana Chandel, for example, is using kamishibai in health care in India. I have seen kamishibai in Cambodia used to inform villagers about hygiene; even details of building a public latrine. Early in kamishibai's history in Japan, a Christian missionary named Iwai Yone used it to tell Bible stories all over Japan (circa 1930s). Of course, it is a wonderful way tell folktales and fairy tales. In at least 2 countries today - Mexico and Slovenia - kamishibai is part of public school curriculum. It is highly adaptable, indeed.

Yes. There are definite similarities between Crankie and Kamishibai, but there are also distinct differences. Kamishibai has no scroll. Rather it utilizes rectangular picture cards.

I am so glad to have received your vote in support of the KAMISHIBAI SIG. I am eager to learn more about your kamishibai activity in Singapore. I noticed just this morning that FEAST is featuring a kamishibai online event in the near future.

Completely agree! The KAMISHIBAI SIG will gladly embrace other forms of visual storytelling. I should have made that clear in the opening statement of this peittion. I chose instead to keep it short and focussed.

Cultural Appropriation is certainly a multi-sided subject and far from simple. Re Crankies: They are not the same as kamishibai but they are very similar. Kamishibai is not a horizontal scroll attached to two vertical spools. That is a crankie. But crankie spools can be attached to the interior of a kamishibai "theatre" to make a crankie. I believe crankies originated in Europe in the 18th century. Kamishibai began in Japan in the 20th.

Very concerned about this. It comes as a complete surprise. Have you had this experience yourself?

Without appropriation there would be no culture. Just sayin'. My brilliant artist friend Bill Quern calls them 'Crankies'.

I story tell with Kamishibai in Singapore. I’ve been promoting this art form to many pre-schools and pre-school Teachers.
