Geisha Makeover Experience

I took a walk around GION AYA (^^♪ Part 2♪ This time, I went to a place that both children and adults can enjoy!!!

Hello everyone, this is Takemi (*^_^*) It's already June. It's the rainy season. I hope the rainy season will end soon, because the laundry won't dry yet... I'm a bit impatient, but the rainy season hasn't even started yet. This time, I'd like to continue from last time and introduce some recommended spots around GION AYA. I went to the Kanji Museum & Library, which is located very close to Yasaka Shrine. It really is very close to Yasaka!!! This photo was taken in front of the Kanji Museum. In front of the Kanji Museum, there is a bus stop called "Gion", so it's very convenient for transportation. Now, let's go inside. When we went inside, this is what greeted us. This is the "Kanji of the Year 2018" that greeted me. I was reminded of all the things that happened last year. This Kanji Museum is not just for looking at, but also for touching, experiencing, and playing with kanji! It is based on this concept, so it is a place that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. In fact, this was my second visit (lol). Now, shall we take a look around? It's a little hard to understand, but you stamp your name in "Manyo-gana" and the original katakana/hiragana characters? This is quite fun. My child and I did it while showing each other our stamps, asking "What kind of kanji was it?" and "Mom said it was like this" (lol). There were three types of stamps, "Manyo-gana," "Hiragana," and "Katakana," and it was really fun to look for the characters used in my name (^^♪ On the first floor, there was also a mini theater that explained the history of kanji in an easy-to-understand way, and there were lots of things to see that made me say "Wow!" It turns out there's a second floor, not just the first floor. The second floor is mainly for hands-on activities,⇧As you can see in the photo, it's a touch panel, so you can learn while playing like a game. By the way, this is a "Radical Combination Touch Panel Karuta" that I'm playing desperately, though it's a struggle. I have to find the radicals that go with the four corners, but it's quite difficult. There were other things like this too If everyday objects around the house are written in kanji, can you read them? If you open a drawer that has kanji written on it, you'll find the object that has it written on it inside. Do you understand that? How do you think this should be read? I'll write the answer at the end, so please think about it. My favorite is this game, it's so fun I've been playing it for ages. "Kanji Conveyor Belt Sushi" is a game where you have to guess the kanji for the sushi toppings rotating on the screen, so kanji are difficult, aren't they? Especially the names of fish, aren't they? I can understand tuna, but I often hear "Isaki" and "Kisu", but when it comes to kanji, don't you think? However, hints are properly displayed on the touch panel at hand, and the answer is selected from three options, so even elementary school children can enjoy it. In addition, the Kanji Museum also holds workshops, so I would like to try them if I have the chance. By the way, this Kanji Museum is closed on certain days,every MondayPlease note that the museum is closed. This time, the child who went with me said enthusiastically, "I want to come again during the summer vacation and do my own research," but I wonder (lol) Well, let's check the answer at the end.
