Nirasaki City Child Rearing Support Center "Nira★Chibi" in Yamanashi Prefecture will host "Nira★Hoho Club," an event where parents and children venture into the city to rediscover its local charm.
The May theme, "Let's Make Jomon-style Handprints at Nirasaki City Folk Museum♪," offers a special time for parents with pre-school children to engage with history.
One-of-a-kind, giving shape to Jomon memories
The stage for this event is the "Nirasaki City Folk Museum," filled with local history. It's not just about viewing; the main experience is actually touching "clay."
- Listen to Jomon stories: Easy-to-understand stories about the Jomon period by "Niratsubo Club" for small children.
- Clay handprint making: Following techniques from the Jomon period, children's handprints from this very moment will be made into pottery.
- Authentic open-air firing: The created handprints will be completed later through authentic "open-air firing"! They will be given as a lifelong memory.
By transcending the stereotype that "history is difficult" and touching the roots of the region with all five senses, this event creates an opportunity to deepen parent-child bonds and foster attachment to Nirasaki.
