www.hangkep.hu - The Déri Museum hosted a presentation and a workshop around traditional Japanese toys by students of the Josai International University of Tokyo who are currently visiting Hungary. The students came accompanied by their Hungarian teacher Attila Kiraly who is showing them around the main university cities in Hungary.
Many of these toys have been around for thousands of years and are passed down from generation to generation often with symbolic intentions. The Japanese students of the Josai university are visiting Hungary to present this cultural topic as a way of bringing people together. Three of these students prepared a collective presentation on the legacy of these toys, they showed with data that over-exposure to screens is damaging the current younger generation both physically and psychologically. Despite this gloomy reality the atmosphere was relaxed with Japanese music, song, dance, and demonstrations bridging the gap between cultures. The event brought the audience together showing the importance of healthy human connections.
