Creative Kids Day

The Workshop Collection finally kicks off tomorrow and runs for two days.
To coincide with the Workshop Collection, we’ve also launched a new initiative called “Creative Kids Day.”
Even if you can’t make it to the Workshop Collection venue, we hope you’ll join us at one of the over 100 workshops being held across the country.

“Creative Kids Day” is
an annual festival that supports children’s creativity.
Various workshops will be held all across the country.
It’s a day when adults and children across the country join hands, connect with one another, and create spaces for creative learning.
Children’s creativity is what will shape the future.
Why not turn all of Japan into a canvas for children?
