Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories

闇芝居

At a children's playground at five o'clock each week, a masked old man arrives by bicycle and tells short ghost stories drawn from Japanese folklore and urban legend. Animated in the style of traditional kamishibai paper theater, the storyteller known as the kamishibaiya presents a different uncanny tale in each brief episode, with no connecting cast between them. This first season collects thirteen such standalone stories.
