We asked them to bring their children in a local school gym and prepare some paint and cardboad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the gym we told the children that now you are the architects and your mothers and fathers are just cheap labor - you tell them what to do and they have to obey. Just do a good house. The size must be big enough for you to fit in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end we took the houses to the Obihiro streets for a walk as a walking street. Sometimes the children would need a rest and an instant village took place. This was humane and accidential.
