Last Updated June 26, 2023

What is Totsuka YOKOHAMA?

"Totsuki Toka YOKOHAMA" is a collection of poems by recruiting messages (poetry) to babies from moms, dads, barbaba, and jujis who are pregnant or have 0-year-old children, and publishes them as a collection of poems.
Since 2007, Yokohama City has been recruiting poems and issuing and distributing poetry collections in cooperation with the "Totsuki Toka Yokohama Executive Committee".
Words spelling the joy of pregnancy, the excitement of childbirth, the joy and confusion of raising children are wonderful gifts for babies, and at the same time, a valuable role in sharing the dreams and hopes of raising and raising children throughout society. I think it will play.
Message of love given by moms, dads, barbaba, and juji gives to babies-This approach reaches not only to those who are raising children but also to all citizens surrounding the children, and the feeling of warmly watching the healthy growth of children I hope that it will spread.

Works introduction

Impressions from the contributor
ImpressionsImpressions

The small and soft child moves around the time, grabs things with his hands, stands on his feet, and shows the best smile every day.
I sincerely thank you for having a happy time every day and have a happy time. It is the parent's duty to protect this smile.
●9 months bear

In just six months, I had already forgotten my feelings at that time.
However, this poem is not a lie. That's really true.
It was a wonderful memory that I made my feelings firmly.

●1 year and 2 months Yoshiko

My son was born at 1,300g. It was a day when I felt guilty and anxiety about being born small.
His son is now three years old and is growing up so energetic that he forgets that he was a premature infant.
Looking back at that poems, I remember the year of walking with my son despite being worried. It's a year filled with memories.
●3 years old Kaori mom

Poetry to the child who applied for Totsuki Toka will encourage you to get sick sometimes bearish in childcare.
It has become a child-centered life, balancing work and childcare.
I often feel that it's hard, but in such a case.
When I recall poetry, my thoughts at the time of writing are clearly revived and I feel like "let's do my best!"
●Three-year-old father

It was a year of struggling with unfamiliar childcare, but I was impressed by my son's growth.
After the earthquake, I feel the importance of life and how much I am raising children in my blessed life.
Also, I am very grateful and grateful that I have become my mother and my deceased mother will surely have raised me carefully.
I wanted to talk more with my mother.
●1 year old sunflower

From pregnancy to childbirth to the present, there were a lot of difficult things, but it was a lot of irritated, but the strange thing is that every day, I feel that `` I can meet you is the most happy '' is.
"sickness", "childbirth" and "graduation" were really painful to recall now, but I think about it.
Good, be your mom. I will continue to struggle with raising children.
I'm glad I was born to a woman. Thank you for becoming a mom.
●1 year and 9 months old lady

If you are tired of raising children, you will remember your beginnings when you were pregnant or giving birth.
"Let's protect my beloved child forever"? I feel it again.
My child has always wanted to meet after I knew I was pregnant.
I am grateful that the child has grown so great, and I will continue to do my best in the future.
It was published in Totsuki Toka was a good memory for the whole family.
●3 years old, 1 year old Koikomiki

When I wrote it, I felt something tickling, but when I read the completed booklet, I was very proud of it.
Other poems are warm and I still read back many times.
I'm getting frustrated after the three-year-old rebellion period, but when I read Totsuki Toka, I was in my stomach for 10 months.
Just remembering that I was grateful for being born, I was able to switch my feelings, and became a nutrient for my child-rearing mom. Now, the second person is pregnant and is reaching the moon.
I want to write it again for this child.
●3 years and 4 months old Mama
