The Making of a Japanese 小学校〜それは小さな社会〜
Pre-school 6 year-olds around the world are remarkably similar, but a post-elementary school 12-year-old distinctly embodies the distinct traits that form the basis of Japanese society.
Tsukado, located in one of Tokyo’s sprawling suburbs, is one of the largest public elementary schools in Japan with nearly 1,000 students. In the nation’s unique educational system, children are tasked to run their own school in order to teach communal values and how to play one’s role in the group. Intimately capturing one school year from the perspective of 1st and 6th graders, THE MAKING OF A JAPANESE has the magic of childhood with precious moments of joy, tears, and discovery — as they learn the traits necessary to become part of Japanese society.
Organised by The Consulate-General of Japan in Melbourne with supported from the Japan Foundation, JFF Theatre and Adelaide University.
