Action Plan -Karuta Project-

As I temporarily returned to Japan with Corona, I had an idea while looking back on my memories in Yangon and looking at the photos.

I wanted to preserve the photos and memories I had taken during the year in a form that would be easy to share with others.

Originally, I was planning to make a tourist brochure for Yangon and translate the existing National Museum brochure into Japanese, so I had photos of various places of interest.

I decided to use them to make a Japanese cultural "karuta" game about Yangon and Myanmar.

Karuta is a Japanese card game. It is played with cards that have a picture and the first letter written on them, and cards that have the corresponding story written on them.

The game master randomly reads out the story from A to Z, and the player quickly touches the corresponding card. The first player to touch a card gets a card, and the winner is the one who gets the most cards.

This game is a fun way to learn about both Japanese traditions and the culture and history of Yangon and Myanmar.

Initiative and planning

I can learn the skills to make effective use of my own materials in the projects I planned.

Also, after Corona is over, I will be able to use it to take further action when I go back to Myanmar to visit my friends, Japanese schools, orphanages, etc.

Global engagement

I can introduce Myanmar's culture, history, and traditions by using play.
