Nobunaga-No-Yabo [Japanese Toy]
"信長の野望"("Nobunaga-No-Yabou") is a series of video game for PC, PSP and DS etc. provided by KOEI. I loved this games and spent a lot of my life!
"信長"("Nobunaga") means one of the most popular samurai whose name is "Nobunaga Oda"("織田 信長").
"野望"("Yabo") means ambitious.
Nobunaga Oda greatly changed the social structure of Japan, but unfortunately he was betrayed and killed by his subordinate whose name was "Mitsuhide Akechi"("明智 光秀").
In this game, the gamer becomes a lord(a boss of samurai) and aims at the Japan union.
You can become Shingen Takeda("武田 信玄") and Kenshin Uesugi("上杉 謙信").

I gained a lot from this game. I learned not only Japanese history but also the negotiation with the others!
If you're interested in Japanese history, please try this!
FYI: This is the latest version for PC.
FYI: This is my most favorite one. I sometimes play this.

Sylvanian Families [Japanese Toy]
Last year, my mother gave my daughters several items of "Sylvanian Families" as a Christmas present.
It's a dollhouse which seems to be popular for Japanese girls and it has various houses, dolls of animals, furniture and so on.
My daughters have asked me for "Sylvanian Families" for a long time, because most of their friends have them. Once they have them, they would like to have more items and it'll cost too much in the long run! So, I wouldn't like to buy them. But their enthusiasm and energy motivates me and at last I requested for my mother to buy them as as present.
Frankly speaking, I was very surprised at very petit items, for example cup, saucer, knife, pot etc.
I have a new understanding of Japanese skill with the hands and it’s necessary for children to be skillful to handle them!
We bought below. I'd like to live in such a big house...

Aqua Beads [Japanese Toy]
I have two daughters(5-year-old and 7-year-old) and give them "アクアビーズ"("Aqua Beads") as the Christmas gift by their request.
'アクアビーズ is a toy that children can make various figures with beads and water. It has several template to make works easily.
I didn't know "アクアビーズ" at that time and went to the department store to get it. But I made a mistake.
I didn't know "アクアビーズ" has two sizes of beads and I bought the smaller one for each daugher. But It's difficult for 5-year-old daughter to handle it, so I bought the bigger one again...
They're into playing with "アクアビーズ" every day and gave me their works.
I recommend for girls as a present.
- smaller one
- bigger one
They used to play with 'アイロンビーズ'('Iron Beads') . It needs ironing, so it's dangerous for childern. In this point, I think 'アクアビーズ' is safer.
