Today, a family from Amherst, USA, came to visit. Their 4-year-old daughter was absolutely captivated by the Japanese toys, playing with them one after another. She even tried origami, enthusiastically learning from her parents. She also said, ‘I love kimonos!’ and chose a pink one to wear, showing off her adorable smile. While the little girl played, both her father and mother got deeply involved in traditional Japanese games. They enjoyed activities like origami, kendama , daruma-drop, and picture books, spending a fulfilling time themselves. At the end, they also made fans. The little girl said, ‘I want to keep playing here!’ and her mother thanked us, saying, ‘In Kyoto, it’s mostly temple sightseeing, and children often get bored. Thank you for opening such a wonderful place!’ They were all so happy, and it made me feel truly grateful.
