We recently had a lovely parent-child pair visit us all the way from California! At first, their 2-year-old daughter was a little shy and hesitant to come inside, but once she discovered all the fun toys waiting for her, she smiled brightly, took off her shoes, and happily joined us in the playroom. Her laughter was absolutely adorable and brought a warm, healing atmosphere to our space.

Not only did the little one enjoy herself, but her mother also had a great time trying out traditional Japanese activities like kendama (a traditional cup-and-ball game) and origami. It was a joy to see both of them engage in cultural play together.
