Time seems to be flying by faster and faster with heavy homework at school, busy days at work and weekends that pass by in a flash of sports games and grocery shopping. It\u2019s amazing we even find time to eat!<\/p>\n<p>Much like the New Year, spring is a time for new beginnings and new life. It\u2019s a time to shed the habits and clutter that spent the winter in our homes and make way for the new. If you are anything like us, then you must enjoy a good deep clean this time of year. Amidst the busy days of modern life and spring-cleaning, don\u2019t forget to slow down and share a nice meal with family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>At Zojirushi, we understand how hectic life can get. That\u2019s why we spend years developing products that will simplify your life. Our hope is that if you can worry less about what\u2019s going on in the kitchen, you can focus more on what\u2019s happening at the table. At the end of the day, the table is where we all come together; it\u2019s where for an hour or so, we can forget the pressures of the day and enjoy each other\u2019s company. So please, eat! Please, drink! Please, enjoy this spring with loved ones! There is always something worth celebrating! Cheers, Zojirushi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Japanese Toys: Where Art and Craft come Together<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever noticed a Japanese toy at a museum or at your local Japanese store? Sometimes it\u2019s hard to tell whether it\u2019s folk art, high art or serious craft. Some toys in Japan have been around for centuries and stand the test of time. Their design is built to last and their simplicity is built for the imagination. Something we rarely get to use in this age of social media and video games!<\/p>\n<p><em>Takeuma<\/em> (\u7af9\u99ac), pronounced<em> ta-keh-ou-ma<\/em>, for example are Japanese bamboo stilts! They are simple to make, and most variations are strong enough to hold a 6-foot, 200-pound person! They are made simply by binding <em>take<\/em>(\u7af9) (bamboo) together. Children would play by tying a string to the roots and mounting this as if on an <em>uma<\/em>(\u99ac) (horse). Making your own toys! Now there\u2019s an idea.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-504\" style=\"border-color: #bbbbbb; background-color: #eeeeee;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Taketombo.jpg\" alt=\"Taketombo\" width=\"350\" height=\"221\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another classic Japanese toy that\u00a0has found many incarnations in the states is\u00a0<em>taketombo<\/em>(\u7af9\u3068\u3093\u307c), pronounced <em>ta-keh-tom-boh<\/em>, or bamboo-copter. This is a bamboo toy helicopter that flies when its shaft is spun. It functions like a spinning top, but in the air. The <em>taketombo<\/em> originated in China in the year 400 B.C., and is still commonly found in most American toy stores! Can you think of anything else in a toy store that\u2019s been around since the year 400B.C.?<\/p>\n<p>Just like <em>takeuma<\/em>, making bamboo-copter is fairly easy, but it might be simpler to just buy one. In any case, you should check this ancient idea out. Surprise the children around you with the gift of simplicity and imagination! Happy playing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Japanese Children Welcome School in April<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Japan, April is the time for a new school year to begin. That\u2019s right, warm spring weather and fragrant cherry blossoms mark the new academic year. It\u2019s hard to imagine going \u201cback to school\u201d without crisp fall apples and leaves on the ground eh?<\/p>\n<p>Going back to school is more than just packing a brown bag and strapping on a backpack in Japan. In fact, each April, schools hold an \u201cEntrance Ceremony\u201d for new students. The entrance ceremony is a time for new students to contemplate the year ahead. It also gives shy or young new students a chance to be welcomed by their older schoolmates.<\/p>\n<p>This ceremony is often held in a gym or an auditorium where older students and parents sit to welcome the incoming class as they march in for applause. The principal will usually speak along with the homeroom teachers and older student, as well as an incoming student. New students are then led back to their homerooms where they receive textbooks and more information on the year to come.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds a bit different than the all-American way of starting school?
