What seniors want! ? Gifts are great, but communication is important on Respect for the Aged Day! We suggest fun ways to spend your time that you can easily learn.
*X is running a campaign to commemorate Respect for the Aged Day! 3 people will be given a “table curling” by lottery*
Fuji Boeki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Director: Tasaka), which wholesales furniture and interior goods.
Ryosuke) will suggest ways to spend Respect for the Aged Day on Monday, September 16, 2024. According to a study published by the Cabinet Office titled “When do elderly people find purpose in life?”, most people feel purpose in life is “when they are together with their children, grandchildren, and other family members.” I guessed that seniors would be more happy with the time they spent together than with gifts. Therefore, this time we will suggest three ways to have fun on Respect for the Aged Day: cooking, playing games, and changing clothes. Additionally, from September 9th (Monday) to September 16th (Monday), we are holding a campaign to commemorate Respect for the Aged Day at our official X. The winner will receive a “table curling” game that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. * What is Respect for the Aged Day? *
Respect for the Aged Day was established in 1966 as a national holiday, with the purpose of “respecting the elderly who have contributed to society for many years, celebrating their longevity, and deepening interest in welfare for the elderly.” The Elderly Welfare Act defines people aged 65 and over as elderly, but there is no set age limit. Nowadays, many people continue to work in their 60s, so many people start celebrating the birth of their grandchildren, retirement, or turning 70 or 80 years old.
*What seniors want*
So, what kind of event should we hold on Respect for the Aged Day? We infer what seniors want based on the data from a survey conducted by the Cabinet Office in 2020 targeting people aged 60 and over, asking “When do you feel a sense of purpose in life?” (*1). According to the survey, the majority of people (55.3%) said they feel a sense of purpose in life when they are “spending time with their children, grandchildren, and other family members,” and the percentage was over 50% for both men and women. Seniors tend to go out and interact less with people due to retirement and health concerns. As a result, spending time with your family may be more enjoyable than ever. Therefore, while gifts are a wonderful idea on Respect for the Aged Day, I would like to suggest that you create memories together through communication.

*3 fun ways to spend Respect for the Aged Day*
■Cook together
Serving the food is appealing, but making it together doubles the memories. You may be able to learn some valuable experience and wisdom regarding cooking. This time I will introduce a curry recipe that can be made just in the microwave.

■Play games together
Let’s have fun playing games that grandpa and grandma can enjoy together. Table curling, which is often featured on TV, is more authentic than it looks. The rules are simple, so give it a try. [Table curling rules]
Divide into two teams and take turns hitting the stones. Place as much space as possible in the center of the double circle called the house. Let’s bring the tones closer together. When all the stones have been thrown, the stones in the circle are awarded.
It is the object of the point. Only the team whose stone is closest to the center of the circle will receive points. The score is “center of the circle”
The points are the “stone closest to the circle” and “the stone closer to the circle than the opponent’s stone” (including any stone that is closer to the circle). The team furthest from the center of the circle receives 0 points.

■Change your clothes together
Next month will be the season for changing clothes. For seniors, loading and unloading heavy blankets can be a difficult task. It might be a good idea to take this opportunity to help. This time we’ll be introducing a storage cover that can be filled with blankets and other items and used as a cushion.
[Convenient for changing clothes! Cushion cover that can be stored] This cushion cover is an item that can be used to fill up things that take up storage space, such as off-season duvets and futons for guests, and turn them into cushions that can be displayed in the living room. It’s easy to use because you just need to stuff it into the cover, and it’s also recommended for seniors because it eliminates the burden of putting it in and out of the closet.
