This is the last weekend to see the “Karada no Fushigi (Wonders of the Human Body) IN KUMAMOTO” exhibit. From what I’ve seen on TV it’s very interactive (including slides, etc) and allows kids to learn about “gross” bodily functions in a fun way.
My impression is that Japanese culture is a bit more open to direct, comical portrayals of “gross” bodily functions that is the U.S., with its puritanical roots. (Note the “grossology” on the web page I’m sharing.) So, seeing the exhibit might be an interesting cultural experience for adults as well.
