Shinsuke, Junko, Mia, and Mariko | Shotaro, Mr. Onuki and Leon | Mia and Mariko | Shinsuke and Mia made this with plastic beads that you fuse together by heating them with an iron. It has a birthday cake in the middle because January 1st is Junko's birthday. Shinsuke made this for his mother. The Japanese at the bottom says "January 1st" (literally "first month, first day"). |
