About this event

August 10: “Urashima Taro” and Moving Sea Turtle August brings hot summer days to both Houston and Japan, making it the perfect time to visit the seaside! Join us as we journey beneath the waves with one of Japan’s most beloved folktales, “Urashima Taro.” When the kind-hearted Urashima Taro rescues a sea turtle, he is swept away on an unforgettable underwater adventure filled with wonder and magic. After the kamishibai storytelling, you can create your own Rocking Sea Turtle featuring Urashima Taro riding atop his sea turtle companion. Dive into the world of Japanese folklore and celebrate the joys of summer through storytelling and hands-on creativity!
