[The Field of Lifelong Learning Course] Some remained real thatch roof among those changed. The bourne flows beyond the house, and many firefly grow up. The field of lifelong learning for children has "town" and "nature." |

[Beginning with Fishing] Children started to fish at the beginning. Their rod was simply made of bamboo, enough though. When got a fish, a fisher changed another as seeing fishes. This should be the place for children unconsciously to feel harmony with nature and living space such as old stone fence and stone stairs to the river. |

[At Home] The living tools utilized blessings of nature: stepping treadle type pestle which made mochi, rice cake, and milled rice; heating Goemon bath, bathtub heated from beneath with a floating wooden lid which is pushed under the water by the bather. They took bath at the evening, prepared rice, and observed firefly at night. Their "natural" experience of lifelong learning was over. |
