“Thank you for being born” celebrated in the unique way of Tankar YUA...

A once-in-a-lifetime celebration for the first birthday.

2023.12.11

We are delighted to introduce the new plan from World Kids:

The "Tankar YUA" experience, enjoyed for the first time.

 

Due to the reservation being made the day before,

we were unable to prepare the costumes in time.

However, it seems your child was able to engage in a relaxed and unpretentious manner.

It looks like you were able to work on it 😊✨

The first thing they reached for was...

 

Your child chose an abacus 🧮.

In Tankar fortune-telling, children who choose an abacus are said to become businesspeople.

 

It might just be a superstition...

Yet, in Okinawa, families have long watched over their children, wishing for a bright future.

A warm and quintessentially Okinawan event (^^).

We encourage you to experience it at least once.

 

It's a new experience for both the child and the guardians,

but our sitters provide thorough support!

 

Having a sitter who played with them all day by their side, your child will feel safe and comfortable ♩

With your child's beaming smile, the adults around naturally find themselves smiling too 😊.

 

Experience this unique Okinawan event for your child's once-in-a-lifetime first birthday👏.
