The child-rearing support center 'Nira★Chibi' in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, is holding an event 'Nira★Hopo Club' where parents and children can venture into the city and rediscover the local attractions.
Under the May theme 'Let's make Jomon-style handprints at the Nirasaki City Folk Museum♪', we offer a special time for parents and preschool children to interact with history.
■ Shaping the memory of Jomon, one of a kind in the world
The stage for this event is the 'Nirasaki City Folk Museum,' packed with local history. The main activity is not just touring, but actually experiencing and touching 'earth'.
・Listen to a Jomon story: A story about the Jomon period, made easy for small children to understand by 'Niratsubo Club'.
・Making handprints with clay: Following techniques from the Jomon period, your child's handprint of this very moment will be turned into pottery.
・Authentic open-field firing: The created handprints will be completed later through an authentic 'Noyaki' (open-field firing)! We will give it to you as a lifelong memory.
We aim to move beyond the stereotype that 'history is difficult,' and by touching the roots of the region with all five senses, we create an opportunity to deepen the bond between parent and child and foster affection for Nirasaki.
