Narration:
Manami Iwamoto, a Japanese volunteer who lives in Zama City, regularly hosts
a unique bilingual "story time" event at the Camp Zama Library, reading
stories to community members in both English and her native language.
Interview: Manami Iwamoto, Volunteer
Narration:
Before the most recent story time began, Iwamoto led the children and their
parents in a singalong session to get them energized.
This day's reading fell near Otsukimi, a moon-viewing festival in Japan, so
the books Iwamoto read focused on how Japanese people celebrate the cultural
event.
Interview: Manami Iwamoto, Volunteer
After the reading, Iwamoto brought out Japanese origami and arts-and-crafts
materials and let the attendees make a rabbit and a moon. This is
significant because in Japan, it is said that on the moon, you can see the
shape of a rabbit pounding mochi, which is a sticky rice cake.
