My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

We’ve gathered crafts that can brighten a rainy-day mood and exercises ideal for preventing a lack of activity—just right for a month full of rain.

Making a teru teru bōzu

How about making a teru teru bozu that will brighten your mood during the rainy season in June? We usually picture teru teru bozu as white, right? With a little creativity using flower leis sold at 100-yen shops, you can make colorful teru teru bozu.

Take one flower from the lei and cut it into four equal parts.

Attach the quartered flower pieces to a small ball for the head.

Draw the facial features—eyes and mouth—or decorate it with beads and other embellishments.

Finally, attach a string of your choice and it’s done.

It’s such a cute craft that your grandchildren would be delighted to receive one as a gift.

Let’s help older adults feel the rainy season by making teru teru bozu together.
