It was a Family Day weekend for the books at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre.
The centre hosted a Family Day event on Feb. 18, which included a wide variety of fun events, demos and games for kids and adults alike.
Volunteers impressed guests with their balloon animal creations, and children got to listen to storytime in Japanese and play with toys like kendama.
