Keio Yokohama Elementary School: The Schoolyard Lawn
The most popular place at the elementary school is, without a doubt, the natural grass field. First-graders can reach the lawn in just about twenty steps from their classrooms, and they dash out to the field the moment they have a break between classes or during recess. Some children get absorbed in playing dodgeball or tag, while others simply lie down and gaze up at the sky, each spending their time as they please. The soft lawn is always filled with the cheerful voices and smiles of the children.
