Explore the Kinoko Hiroba Art Workshops in Tokyo

The Kinoko Hiroba workshop, organized by the non-profit organization Woods, will take place monthly starting from April 2025 in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. This engaging event invites children from preschool to school-age along with their guardians for immersive experiences centered around the theme of 'Let’s create! Let’s play! Let’s discover fun things!'. The workshops aim to foster creativity and imagination through a variety of artistic activities.

Woods envisions creating a platform for children of diverse backgrounds to connect through art, promoting communication that transcends language. The goal is to nurture the ability to express one’s creativity freely, leading to the development of a new community focused on engagement and interaction.
