VOV.VN - Ehon week for children is scheduled to take place at the headquarters of the Embassy of Japan in Ba Dinh district of Hanoi, from October 14 to 22.
On display will be 100 Japanese picture books, also called Ehon in Japanese, for children of different ages. The occasion will help visitors to understand more about the book world of children, and encourage the reading culture among children.
Furthermore, an exhibition of Cosette original paintings by Japanese painter Yasumasa Suzuki will be held at the Vietnam Japan Culture Exchange Center, 27 Quang Trung street in Hoan Kiem district of Hanoi, between October 14 and 18.
During the event, the organisers will provide a reading corner where visitors can read picture books freely.
On October 20, a book fair is set to get underway at Du Parc Hanoi Hotel, 84 Tran Nhan Tong street in Hoan Kiem district.
Ehon are illustrated stories for children in which the text and images are integrated to tell a story on a certain topic. Each page contains one or two short sentences which are appropriate for a child's language level. The content and characters in the book are familiar objects and activities which can be found in the daily lives of children, such as eating, sleeping, playing, animals, and plants.
