There is a special joy in watching kamishibai because the performer faces the audience so that they can share the joy of the story-world together.
Kamishibai is rich in communication; the performer can communicate with the audience by changing his/her voice tone, allowing for the pause between each picture in sync with the motion of sliding in and out. Moreover interaction occurs naturally as the audience and the performer can see the expressions of each other.
Kamishibai is full of happiness; a resonant feeling or kyokan is shared among all the audience during the performance.
The word kyokan refers to people confirming the meaning of life together through sharing the same feeling about something.
Creating kyokan is the most important and essential aspect of kamishibai.
Not only kids but also adults love this culture born in Japan.
