Korisu
Korisu Bunko was originally based in Hampton, but since September 2018 the Korisu Bunko is based in Bookham, Surrey. We have six children (4 families) and meet every other Saturday (10.30 – 12.30) at the leader’s house. Our main activities include reading picture books and Kamishibai (paper theatre), radio gymnastic exercises and singing nursery rhymes. Every month we introduce our children Japanese events that take place in that month through crafts and games.
(Korisu-bunko is opened in 1983 and the oldest one among the Japanese Bunko.)

Kazenoko
We also encourage children to speak in front of the group. Older children (from Year 5) read children’s newspaper.
Iroha-kids
We introduce simple seasonal crafts. Both parents and children help one another in the craft session. Children enjoy this session as they can take them home when finished.
Higashinomori
We have taken over the previous Higashi No Mori Bunko that had been successful in Wanstead for many years. Since the autumn 2019 we are based in Chingford, a district adjoining Epping Forest. We meet one Saturday afternoon (14.30 – 16.00) every month. Our activities include singing songs relating to our traditional seasonal events, crafts and games as well as lending books and reading picture books. We try to organise the activities aimed at the majority of our members who are lower primary school ages, but we welcome any children who have reached about three.
Kurukuru Derby
We meet in one of the member’s house. It is in a relaxed atmosphere. We start the meeting by singing a song “Let’s begin” followed by registration writing on a board a date, a day, weather and season. The other activities include singing songs, card games, reading books and craft. We finish by singing a closing song.
