Abstract

<p>The purpose of this paper is to clarify the features of Buddhist ideals of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in nursery schools and kindergartens in the Tokyo metropolitan area. We analyzed these features by focusing on Buddhist words, phrases, and events or activities in ECEC, for a total of 89 cases.</p><p>From KH coder analysis, it is clear that the cultivation of aesthetic sensitivity in Buddhism is key. For example, one group of kindergarten children is becoming more and more sensitive through the act of folding their hands and bowing before Buddhist statues, and they enjoy their time spent in this kindergarten.</p><p>In short, the cultivation of aesthetic sensitivity through physical rituals is an important feature of Buddhist ideals of ECEC in nursery schools and kindergartens in the Tokyo metropolitan area.</p>
