What is monozukuri?

We believe that monozukuri is not just the craft of making something but a necessity of life. We have been making our lives more prosperous by processing natural materials throughout history. Every child should have the opportunities to think about the nature of these materials and how to use them to make a product, using them during creative activities and experiences is a very important element for children’s development. But today, there is very little opportunity of experiencing monozukuri to demonstrate their essential skill and experience monozukuri. This is it crucial to promote monozukuri.

What are our activities?

We offer small group activities or events for children to enhance their creative skills. Children will participate with their parents, families and adults in monozukuri using various materials. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to meet up in person so we will put most activities online so that children can engage in them at home. We provide most of the essential materials required for each activity and children can easily use them with their own equipment (such as scissors or glue).

Our goal is simply for children to enjoy monozukuri and explore their potential.

Please check a forthcoming activity or event.

In addition

We also offer a cultural dimension of monozukuri such as Origami (the art of paper folding) and Japanese seasonal craft to introduce Japanese culture. Our aim is for children to learn about Japan through having fun.
