Kamishibai - Robotto Kami - Chibizou no Maki

At the rubbish tip, Takeshi and Yoko had the idea of building the world's largest robot from an empty box. The robot they built together was made from a paper box, so they called it Kami-i.

‘You're the Kami-i robot, aren't you? If you understand me, answer me.’

• About Kamishibai •

Kamishibai (紙芝居, “paper theatre”) is an ancient form of storytelling that is very popular in Japan.

It consists of a set of cards, each with a picture on one side and text on the other.

The narrator reads the text related to each of the illustrations while the audience looks at them and listens to the story.

It is an educational and entertaining technique aimed mainly at children.
