"Announcement of the Yamato Kotoba Storytelling Session"
Hello 🌞
I'm Chirin (Chiyomi Yamada), a "messenger of Japanese words."
🍀Why Yamato Kotoba (ancient Japanese language) now?
🍀Why the beginning of the Kojiki?
"The beginning of the Kojiki depicts the Japanese worldview and cosmology, showing how the world began."
However, there aren't many books that carefully depict this important scene.
This time, we will read aloud the opening section of the Kojiki using that precious picture book, and enjoy the world of Yamato Kotoba (ancient Japanese language).
Furthermore, this is an experiential workshop where participants will unravel the meaning of each individual's name, one sound at a time.
And after the talk and workshop, let's enjoy lunch together at the familiar I-Masala! 💕

Limited to 6 people
Participation fee: 3000 yen

🍀Voices from participants
"I've always loved the name my parents gave me ♥"
That's why I wanted to learn more about the meaning behind my own name, and that's why I participated this time.
It begins with deciphering the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) in Japanese.
Learning about the Kojiki is also about learning about the origins of Japan.
"Why were humans created?"
"What is the role of human beings?"
I explored this profound question from both mythological and scientific perspectives.
How was the world created, how have we perceived nature, people, and life, and what have we cherished?
It was also a time to experience that worldview through mythology.
Knowing your own name.
Turn your attention to your roots.
And to learn about the origins of Japan, the country in which I live.
That might lead to valuing yourself and developing self-esteem.
Using the Kojiki and Yamato Kotoba (ancient Japanese language) as a starting point, it was a very interesting time to re-examine myself and Japan.

"It's natural for everyone to be different."
~Towards a society where everyone can support one another~
He was born with cerebral palsy.
I have lived with that disability.
Together with "Meg-san"
We will be holding a storytelling session.
"The world
I hope he becomes kinder.
In a society where everyone is naturally different
How can we all get along?
Will we be able to help each other?
This group started with that idea in mind.
Everyone can become kinder once they get to know each other.
There are things you can't do alone, but you can achieve them if you do them with someone else.
If you're all aiming for such a harmonious society, please come join us! 🍀
