Yasu Ishida: Japanese Folktales with Origami and Magic Tricks

"My name is Yasu Ishida and I am a library performer living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Before the Covid time, I perform 80-90 library shows a year, in south eastern states (SC, NC, GA, FL, AL, TN).

​First of all, thank you so much for everything you do for the community in this tough time. I feel like libraries are needed more than ever. ​

​​​Last year, I worked with more than 55 libraries in 12 states around the country providing virtual SRP shows.

​​I would love to bring it to your library this year, if you are thinking of doing virtual shows. This is a little preview of the program.

I incorporate Japanese folktales with origami, and magic tricks. It goes with this year’s library theme “Tails and Tales”. It is a 35-40 minutes program targeting family audiences. And I can do any virtual formats your library likes. (e.g. Live streaming on your FB page, pre-recording, or zoom workshop etc.) I also offer a virtual hands-on origami workshop for teens or adults too.

Please take a look and please let me know if we can work together for the community this summer.  

Please stay safe,
