Yokai are supernatural creatures and spirits from Japanese folklore that live all around us. Learn about them in this all ages weekend event at Shofuso! Families can participate in a scavenger hunt and win prizes. Listen to kamishibai tales of ogres, water imps, and goblins, and craft a yokai to take home!

All activities are free after regular admission.

Flea Market (October 26th only): Japanese goods such as clothing, books, toys, dishware, and more donated by members of the community, with all proceeds going to support the JASGP.

Scavenger Hunt: follow the clues and find real objects around Shofuso that inspired yokai myths

Kamishibai Storytelling: experience Japan’s classic paper theater style of storytelling with slightly spooky stories every hour starting at noon

Crafts: make spooky origami
