Join us at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʻi with storyteller, folklorist, and shaman Moira “Ipo” Maeda-Nakamine. Aunty Ipo will tell tales based on true events that have either happened to her, her family members, or close friends. For those who do not care to believe in the supernatural, these tales can be enjoyed as fiction. For those who do believe that the dead walk or are searching for answers, these stories will hopefully provide an answer into the existence of the shadow world.
