Hanasaka Jiisan: A Puppet Show Board Theater

This is a puppet show set for a fun performance of the story of "Hanazaka Jiisan" (The Old Man Who Made Flowers Bloom) using felt dolls. (*^^*)
The stage of the apron theater has been made compact, in a kamishibai (paper-drama) size (40cm x 30cm).

Magnets are placed inside the dolls, so by placing a magnetic whiteboard inside the stage, you can attach them anywhere on the stage.
The shipping cost will be higher if we include a whiteboard, so you can purchase a magnetic whiteboard (28cm x 37cm) at Daiso for 200 yen, which is the perfect size for use.

The size of the dolls is the same as those used in apron theaters, about 15-17cm, so I think it will be a story with a strong presence.
Each doll is carefully made on both sides, so children can also use them as dolls for playing,
and I think it will be a good play tool to nurture their creativity.

A simple script is also included. ^_^

~How to use~
The front of the stage has a house and a field, and the rough field and the tended field are pockets, each containing gold coins and disgusting bugs.
The embroidery of the disgusting bugs is my masterpiece, and I've made them very "kimokawa" (gross but cute). ^_^
On the back of the stage, there is only one dead tree standing.
The mortar has white mochi (rice cakes) on the front and gray mochi on the back, each with a mechanism to produce gold coins and garbage.

Shiro's (the dog's) grave turns into a large, grown tree when flipped over.
I expressed a peaceful tree with a small bird perched on it as a one-point accent.

Flames can be attached to the mortar, so it's easy to see that the mortar is burning.

The ashes falling on the dead tree are beautiful because they transform into full-blooming cherry blossoms in an instant when flipped over. ✾

The kind old man, the mean old man, and Shiro
have smiling faces on the front and crying faces on the back.
The lord has a smiling face on the front and an angry face on the back.
