Let's survive the temporary closure! ~Part 1 Karuta Nihonbashi~
It's Edamame, a correspondent with a child.
On the night of February 27, there was a request from Prime Minister Abe.
On February 28, Chuo-ku announced a temporary school closure from March 2 (Mon) until the spring break. .
The target is kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school in Chuo Ward.
In other words. My daughter Azuki (younger) is also the last day of attending school with the 28th being "younger".
"Long and long spring break" has begun.
And yeah.
I decided to close the school for a while.
In fact, Edamame, who worked in a part-time job, also decided to be absent.
(Because I worked during the time when Azuki was in kindergarten.)
Furthermore, as it was written on the ward's website
"In light of the intent that this is a temporary suspension measure to prevent infection in COVID-19.
We ask that you avoid going out to places where people gather and, in principle, spend your time at home."
That's why.
Don't go out as much as possible, spend time with two parents in the house. 。 。 。 。 。
This means that you have to increase the number of goods you can play in the house (committee).
That's why Edamame went shopping.
First, go to the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.
First of all, Edamame and Azuki headed to Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center.
There are various goods related to Nihonbashi here.
You can also buy long-established sweets here.
It may be a convenient place to put together various kinds of things when you don't have time.
And ... there was in it!
"Nihonbashi Karuta".
This Karuta was produced as the "10th anniversary project of the Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-year Planning Committee".
Reading phrases are selected from works by 894 people and more than 4,000 phrases of general applicants from 38 prefectures nationwide and ages from 8 to 92 years old.
The tag is an illustration of Heisei's ukiyo-e artist, the sixth generation Utagawa Nationalist.
This is a form where you can learn about the traditions and culture of Nihonbashi naturally while playing.
In fact, in Azuki's kindergarten, it may be called "New Year" from the end of winter vacation.
Have time to get acquainted with traditional Japanese toys such as Karuta, kite flying, spinning top and Soroku.
I had quite a lot of them.
For this reason, "playing with Karuta" has changed to a very familiar one among the azuki.
Because of such circumstances, Mother Edamame is
I thought, "If so, would you like to introduce" Nihonbashi Karuta "?"
Actually, I tried it.
I was worried about ... "Is it possible to play even a young azuki?"
I was worried about it.
Originally, it was an attribute called "Azuki, a girl who has no eyes in print."
All the reading cards were furigana, so "I'll do it with A-chan Yomu!" ！"he said.
Of course, it doesn't mean "you can chase letters = understand the meaning and read it."
While taking Karuta, I'm going to explain it to children that "this means this way."
I enjoyed playing Karuta while saying, "Hey, that's right."
・・・ ・ In about 10 years, I felt like I could see the future of taking the Chuo-ku Tourism Test together.
(Super and genius education!?)
My husband played with me on Saturdays and Sundays.
Husbands who don't study too much historical things actively
He was playing while saying, "Hey, that's right."
(It's true that parents and children have the same reaction.)
As a correspondent, it was "a material for reviewing knowledge in the Nihonbashi area."
I will play while explaining to my husband and my child.
In a sense, it may be a practice of a city walking guide.
Actually, it is an English-friendly product.
In fact, the card of this Karuta is "Japanese on the front side" and "English on the back side".
How do you describe this area in English? I think it will be a hint.
I would like to use the back side for learning English for my mother Edamame.
In addition, a map (including English) is attached to this Karuta.
If COVID-19 has settled down to some extent and I can walk around the city with peace of mind.
You may also enjoy taking a walk with this map in one hand.
That's why for a while with this Karuta
I think it's going to be fun at home.
Of course, I think it's a product that seems to be more enjoyable for children older than Azuki.
At a nearby elementary school, a tournament using this Karuta is being held in January.
Actually, it may be familiar to elementary school students.
It will also help you learn about Chuo-ku, which is touched in social studies of 3rd and 4th graders.
Parents who are having trouble with sudden temporary closures, we hope that you will be able to pick it up once.
