While learning how to create animations and the techniques involved, breathe life into objects with your own hands… and try creating animations using movement and sound! What kind of animations will you create? Maybe your perspective on animation will change from now on? We’ll send you the data for your work at a later date!

We invite various experts and artists who collaborate with us on the Kids Creative Institute’s workshop programs to serve as guest speakers. Centered on their personal journeys to becoming who they are today, they’ll engage in a dialogue with participants. Our guest this time is Hiroshi Sasaki, a “Professional Naturalist.” In the relaxed atmosphere of the historic Nakamachi House—surrounded by lush, nature-filled gardens—what if we took a peek into the process of one person’s journey to adulthood…? It might just provide some hints for thinking about “how I shape myself” both now and in the future.

Children are artists. They freely create using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids.” Artworks, objects before they become artworks, the passage of time, and the movements that emerge—these are the essence of this museum. What will you encounter today? What will you be able to do…? No matter when or how often you visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement. *The venue will move to the CANVAS Office in Takeshiba starting in fiscal year 2022.
