Information

Description

The original anime “Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories” is a compilation of various short scary stories dedicated to urban myths, sagas and legends of Japanese origin. Once a week at five o’clock in the evening, the Storyteller – an old man with a strange yellow mask – appears at a children’s playground and tells his stories to the children playing there. To illustrate his scary stories for the children, he makes use of a “kamishibai” – a traditional paper-scrolling device –, which breathes new life into his scary stories. The children get to hear a new story from the kamishibaiya every week.
Der Original-Anime »Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories« stellt eine Zusammenstellung verschiedener kurzer Gruselgeschichten dar, die sich Großstadtmythen, Sagen und Legenden japanischer Herkunft widmen. Einmal in der Woche um fünf Uhr abends erscheint der Geschichtenerzähler – ein alter Mann mit einer merkwürdigen gelben Maske – auf einem Kinderspielplatz und erzählt den dort spielenden Kindern seine Geschichten. Um seine Gruselgeschichten für die Kinder zu illustrieren, macht er von seinem »Kamishibai« – seinem Papiertheater bzw. Märchenbilderschaukasten – Gebrauch und haucht seinen Erzählungen so Leben ein. Die Kinder bekommen vom Kamishibaiya jede Woche eine neue Geschichte zu hören.
