MMAT owns the “Toy Collection” that consists mainly of “excellent-design” and “think-with-hands” type of wooden toys collected internationally and domestically. The picture books, “Circle, Triangle, Elephant!” and “Ones and Threes” (written & illustrated by OIKAWA Kenji & TAKEUCHI Mayuko) focus on the fun and pleasure in stacking and laying blocks of various shapes. The books and our “Toy Collection”, both of which emphasize the importance of having infants and toddlers to “play” are displayed together.
