Programs for Enjoying the Museum in Plain Japanese: Hidden Stars in the Garden [Date: March 15 & 16]

Events Plain japanese program

The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum has a big garden. In this workshop, we will explore the garden with curious eyes, looking closely at the plants and the ground. As we search for beautiful colours and patterns, some may shine like tiny stars! In the end, we will create a special specimen with the little stars we found.

Children from all backgrounds are invited to join. We will speak in plain Japanese. Let’s have fun and enjoy talking together!
