31st Annual Katari Japanese Storytelling Festival

FR31st Annual Katari Japanese Storytelling Festival 〜 All Things Must Pass 〜

As Toronto spring quickly unfolds and slips away, join us to discover Japanese stories (told in English) and music that capture the beauty of impermanence!

The 31st Katari Japanese Storytelling Festival invites families, cultural explorers, and anyone curious to experience the richness of Japanese folktales, poetry, and traditional performing arts. This year’s theme, “All Things Must Pass,” reflects the transience of life, inspired by the cherry blossoms that bloom and fall quickly during Toronto’s short spring season. Enjoy a vibrant program of storytelling performed in English—no Japanese language experience required—featuring humorous and haunting folktales, evocative poetry, and live performances of traditional music. Each performance offers a unique window into Japan’s cultural heritage. Bring your family and friends, and experience the joy of Japanese storytelling in a warm, welcoming environment!
