Theme Exhibition, "Thinking about housework now" ,Jan.2024

~Cooperating and sharing housework~

The exhibition period is from January to March 2024.

Exhibit while checking the list. We may all reread the content and think about it again.

Making pop cards is fun while talking with them.

Let's think about "we share housework" and,"Nameless housework".

~Housework is not just about cooking, washing, and cleaning. There's a lot of work that doesn't have a name! ～

We took a commemorative photo with the New Year's flower arrangement.

Happy New Year. There is a large flower arrangement in front of the entrance to celebrate 2014.

2023.12.26 p.m　The final volunteer activity for 2023 was to clean up the Christmas tree.

This is the autumn leaves of the owner of the "nwec" courtyard. It was wonderful during the Christmas period.

According to the plant encyclopedia, this Metasequoia is very interesting.

This is an artificial fir tree.

This is what it looked like before it was cut down.

Everyone will share the disassembly work.

Packed in boxes quickly.

Let's go.　Now, everything is cleaned up.

This is the last launch and chat session of the year. Please do your best with the flowers you planted at the entrance.

We hope for a peaceful international community and a safe and secure life and politics next year.

Flower beds for winter, December 2023.

December 14, 2023. It was a beautiful day.

Environmental maintenance volunteers made major changes to the flower beds and planted many flowers in preparation for winter.

This time, we were making a major remodeling of the flower bed, so one of our strong members used a shovel to dig it up.

One of our members has a great sense of color and creates beautiful pots for grouped plants.

A trio of veteran transplanters are having fun transferring flowers from pots to flower beds.

"Come on, I'll give you lots of water."

A beautifully completed flower bed.

Finally, we all watered the plants a lot.

The lobby was also decorated with flowers arranged by volunteers.

A fun tea party after work. Enjoy delicious black tea in a Japanese-style teacup.

Women's Information Center Letter #98 on December 2023

Volunteers issued Women's Information Center Letter #98 on December 1, 2023.

We thought about housework.

In today's society, the number of dual-income households is increasing.

When husbands do more housework and cooperate, families become more peaceful and happy.

I read "Did you realize that housework is hard?" written by Mari Ako, who is also famous as a life history researcher.

After reading it, I noticed the following:

Housework is an important part of our daily lives, so we must get back to it as a family. Housework and care are often neglected, but no one can survive without them.
