She will soon be four years old. She recently went with her parents to visit the National Museum of Ethnology. I heard this from my grand-daughter\u2019s mother, that is my daughter.<\/p>\r\n<p>Unfortunately, it seems that my grand-daughter was frightened by several of the exhibits. Her fear was greatest at the section where masks were on display. This was a museum visit in which she clung to her mother. The museum was nothing but a haunted house for my grand-daughter.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_1141\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1141\" src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/202203-\uff4d01-03-700x398.jpg\" alt=\"\u307f\u3093\u3071\u304f\u4eee\u9762\u5199\u771f\" width=\"700\" height=\"398\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/202203-\uff4d01-03-700x398.jpg 700w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/202203-\uff4d01-03-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/202203-\uff4d01-03-245x139.jpg 245w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/202203-\uff4d01-03-490x279.jpg 490w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/202203-\uff4d01-03.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Collections of the National Museum of Ethnology<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>My daughter gave her encouragement: \u201cThis is where granddad\u2019s friends work.
