baby observation project
Business Overview
The Baby Observation Project is a project targeting infants and their caregivers. The living room theater and Chihiro Nishio played a central role.
September 2025: The "Baby Observation Event" was held at the Art University Room (Taito Ward, Tokyo). A place was set up for 0 ~ 1 year-old children and their caregivers to observe babies from a unique perspective. Guest artists include Tsujita Akira and Dorokata Yuki.
April 2026: "Ikutan" was held at the same venue to discuss questions related to "nurturing." It became a place to discuss and think about not only children but also various "growing up" and "nurturing" events. Artists (Tomoko Kawaguchi, Yukiko Nishii, Yuki Dorogata), researchers (Nishio Chihiro, Sugiyama Saomi, Sumitani Masashi), and a child-rearing network practitioner (Momoko Yajima) were invited to participate in the dialogue.
June 2026: A "baby observation event" for 0 ~ 1 year olds and a new "walking observation event" for 2 ~ 3 year olds were held at Komuni Teplaza Yashio (Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo).
