~ Research the rivers, wells, and underground water systems surrounding Katsushika, and create and perform shadow puppets ~
This is a workshop in which you look for "water" hidden here and there in Katsushika, and create your own shadow puppets. At the end of the day, shadow artists Kawamura Koheisai and musicians perform shadow pictures. You can take home the shadow puppets made on the day. What kind of shadow pictures will appear? Grow up! It got tiny! A shadowy world full of wonders. Why don't we all play together?
