This is an experience where you can relax and enjoy art to your heart's content in a bright workshop surrounded by the greenery of Kamakura. Art is the work of facing yourself and exploring your senses. Having your senses and sensibilities acknowledged without being denied will help you develop trust in yourself. Infancy is a very important period in the formation of the human brain. Brain networks are created rapidly through stimulation. For young children to develop their minds, the presence of adults who can genuinely enjoy, delight, and be surprised with works that only the child can create is essential. Why don't you and your child enjoy dynamic play (art) that is hard to do at home, such as playing with clay or spraying paint on a large piece of paper? This is the time to sit down with your child or just watch over them.
