Document of play at a suburban Tokyo kindergarten.
foreword
The makings of children are difficult to understand. The curry made in the playground today is tomorrow¨s foot bath. And the day after that it¨s a zoo. At the same time a volcano may erupt. Hand cream made of sand can turn into poison rice balls while you¨re distracted. Some days cake making parties drag out interminably but some afternoons they switch without warning to preparation for a long journey. In the midst of all this, fixed production methods and quality assessment systems are not as rare as you¨d think. And fine-grained craftsmanship shines through. As an adult I can make my own (weak) interpretations but in the field I am at the mercy of the children.
This book shows but a tiny selection of the makings that the children of Akishima Kindergarten in Tokyo introduced me to. With a nearby friend, spend time inspecting these images, wondering what is being made (or what you would like to make), and conjuring up your own stories C in the process I hope that you can become a little more conversant with the joy that is `making with hands¨.
