The Art Workshop and the Embassy of Japan in Italy, in conjunction with the Palazzo delle Esposizioni's new Bookstore, present a full programme designed to appeal to the young and the less young, devoted to the Land of the Rising Sun and to children's publishing.
 
A series of special events will enrich our journey exploring Japan, its legends and its rituals. Visitors will be able to decorate their own 'sensu' fan with Monica Monachesi, to attend the Kamishibai theater, to learn about the Yōkai monsters and spirits with Ayami Moriizumi, and to discover the work "a pois" of the great artist Yayoi Kusama accompanied by the American illustrator Ellen Weinstein.

As always, our invitation is addressed to nursery schools during the week with an intercultural exploration of the world of fairy tales, and to families on Sundays with readings and workshops.

And lastly, the exhibition will offer an opportunity to build a special pathway with the girl students in the schools of Italian for migrants run by Asinitas and by the Biblioteca Guglielmo Marconi, ending with an encounter open to the public to discover the traditional fairy tales of different countries.
