Cultural practices and embedded values

Origami story

In Japan, children are celebrated on 5 May with a public holiday, Children’s day, Kodomo no Hi. In this digital story, Kimi (pseudonym) shares her joy of being invited into her child’s preschool on Children’s Day to share her culture with the children. She chose a traditional activity – origami – which requires significant careful attention from children and detailed precision at each step. These are celebrated values in Japanese culture.
