On June 3, some 75 third-grade students from the Hachioji City Shimizu Elementary School visited the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum. Four students from Soka University who are taking a class in art museum education assisted in the tour.
The elementary school children attended a Gallery Talk on art appreciation and then were asked to grasp a deeper affinity for a specific work of art by “closely observing, feeling out, think on and talk to” it as well as speaking with and sharing views with one another.
In a surprise event, the Shimizu school principal dressed up in a samurai suit and appeared before his students.
