The Architecture of Play: A Conversation with Junya Sakata
Recently, we were honoured to host Junya Sakata, the visionary creator behind the Sekaiichi no Hashi(The World's Best Bridge).
Sakata-san’s philosophy deeply resonates with our mission: that physical mastery is the silent foundation of all future learning. During his visit to Riri's Children Playloft last week, we sat down to discuss the "Creative Loop" between adults and children, the importance of sensory integration, and why true play is more vital now than ever before.
