An initiative designed to teach people about the local area, this workshop offers an opportunity to join children in encountering and learning about nature in rural valley areas through the wild plants and flowers that grow there. Children listen to the workshop instructor and make drawings of plants and flowers that interest them, creating their very own guide maps to local plant life.
*Yatokko domei is a scheme through which children encounter the history and culture of Tadao through participation in workshops given by artists and elderly people, with children and adults joining forces to develop new ways to play, and new opportunities to learn.
See our Facebook page to find out more about our activities.
If you’d like to take part in Yatokko domei activities or are otherwise interested, please see here for details.
