Look at these pictures of animals playing together.
They are called Choju-giga, or “Cartoons of Birds and Animals.” When I first saw them a few days ago, I was very interested in them. I especially liked this scene of the frogs and rabbits enjoying wrestling. I read about Choju-giga yesterday on the Internet.
I learned that the pictures were drawn about 700 years ago. Some people say they’re the oldest manga in Japan.
If it’s true, the history of manga in Japan is very long.

Have you seen this before ?
It’s a Japanese toy called a kendama. It originally comes from China. I’ll show you how to play with it ?
You catch the ball in one of the cups, or on the pin, like this.
I think playing with a kendama is more difficult than playing with a yo-yo.
As you know, a kendama, like a yo-yo, is a toy enjoyed by both children and adults. Once you start playing with it, you can’t stop.

あなたたちは以前にこれを見たことがありますか。それは、けん玉と呼ばれている日本の おもちゃです。それは、もとは中国から来ています。私は、それで遊ぶ方法をあなたたちに 教えるつもりです。このように、カップのひとつにボールをいれたり、ピンにさしたりしま す。
私は、けん玉で遊ぶことは、ヨーヨーで遊ぶよりも難しいと思います。
