Kamishibai – a New Narrative Context of Oral Literature in Working with Children of Preschool Age

This paper starts with the assumption that Kamishibai, as a special language of art, opens up new narrative possibilities in the realization of oral literature for children of early and pre- school age. Using the relevant and available literature, it will be shown that historically Kamishibai used to be a form of Japanese street theater and storytelling, thus offering the possibility of being used by “everybody”. In the context of this paper, which includes Kamishibai into the process of education, this would refer to educators who would, through the use of Kamishibai, be able to bring the story or any other piece of oral literature closer to children. Storytelling in traditional culture is defined as the process of shaping and establishing the appearance of an event through speech, thus naratio as a system of linked speech requires a greater lexical inventory and a higher level of conceptual thinking in order to establish a narration process. Precisely because of the fact that oral narration is a live storytelling and retelling activity, the question arises as to how and through which storytelling techniques we can animate the story, if the typical characteristics of Kamishibai are mime, voice and image. Thus, Kamishibai is an interdisciplinary art, and exactly this kind of storytelling model opens up a whole range of improvisations as well as new possible ways of learning the storytelling skills. Yet, this includes certain frameworks, which primarily relate to reduction of both images and words, more precisely, the image and the word are harmoniously complemented. This paper tries to point out the importance of childhood narrative with a special emphasis on oral literary forms (tongue twisters, poems, prayers, fables, fairy tales, legends, anecdotes, life stories, childhood stories, etc.), both from the national as well as from the world's traditional literature in the context of Kamishibai, which preserves the linguistic and literary heritage as one of the expressions of identity, and develops the feeling of acceptance of other cultures and civilizations.
