"Shunsuke Yamaguchi, Arlington artist and teacher, will perform two Kamishibai tales: The Grateful Crane & The Story of Momotaro. Traditional Japanese folk tales told in artistic panels with a modern twist. A delicious bake sale to follow the event. Bring some money to buy yummy Japanese and American treats."
