2011 Summer Program

Japanese toys are both playthings and works of art. Tradition has refined both design and play. Work with wood, clay, paper and bamboo. Construct tops and kites and noisemakers inspired by Japanese prints. Play games of chance and skill. Practice origami – the art of paper folding. And then kamishibai – the art of paper theatre.

Construct a carrier for your treasures in the Japanese tradition of orderly packing.
