This Halloween, JASGP is celebrating yokai: the monsters, ghosts and spirits of Japanese folklore! On the weekend of October 29 and 30, we will be celebrating Yokai Family Weekend. Families can participate in a yokai-themed scavenger hunt and collect spooky trading cards of tsukumogami-household objects come to life. Hear and see traditional kamishibai (illustrated folktales) of oni, kappa and tengu. Make an oni mask or design your own yokai puppet to use in a daily spirit parade around the Shofuso grounds. Play ghostly games and watch yokai-themed anime and movies at the Sakura Pavilion.
