Explore Asia Through Picture Books (Chinese Picture Book Day)
Sunday, July 14th, 2024, “Explore Asia Through Picture Book (Chinese Picture Book Day)” was held at Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. There weren’t many participants in the morning due to heavy rain, but in the afternoon many people enjoyed picture books in Chinese and Kamishibai about China through visual and auditory experiences! We also learned how to count pandas in Chinese.
