Nue-e Folklore Storytelling is a unique cultural event where traditional Japanese folk tales are brought to life using 'Nue-e' (fabric art). This method uses beautiful fabric illustrations to visually represent scenes, allowing the audience to experience the depth of the story through both sound and sight. The event takes place in a charming 'Kominka' (traditional folk house), providing a serene atmosphere where you can feel the essence of old Japan.
The main highlight is the stunning display of fabric art that unfolds in sync with the storyteller's words. Watching the fabric scenes unfold is like watching a moving scroll, creating a deeply immersive experience. Sitting on the tatami mats of the traditional house, you can escape the modern world and listen to ancient tales. Supported by the 'Hitachi Folklore Society,' the event offers a warm, community-rooted atmosphere that preserves local traditions.
The event will be held on July 11th, from 10:00 to 11:30. Enjoy the unfolding of legendary tales within the tranquil setting of the traditional house.
The venue is the 'Kominka (Inkyo-ya)' located within Hitachi Seaside Park. This historic building provides a highly atmospheric and scenic location. As you will be moving within the large park, we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes or considering a rental cycle to reach the venue easily.
This is a 'free-viewing' event, meaning no prior reservation is required to enjoy the atmosphere. To fully immerse yourself in the story, we recommend arriving early to secure a comfortable spot. For international visitors, this is a wonderful opportunity to touch the spiritual and cultural heart of Japan in an authentic setting.
The venue is a traditional folk house with tatami flooring. You will be required to remove your shoes before entering, so please wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off. We also recommend wearing clean socks, as you will be sitting on the floor. While the event is free to attend, please maintain a quiet and respectful demeanor to enjoy the storytelling experience.
