ON EXHIBIT
Toys from a simpler time
Before toys became electrified, digitized and technologized, before they could beat you at chess or kill you in virtual war games, they were handmade and kid-powered.
The East-West Center celebrates this simpler playtime with an exhibit, "Whimsical World: Toys Across Asia," on view through Feb. 16. Among items on display is this horse, made for a Japanese child out of wood, straw, paint, sometime in the last century. For the next three Sundays, the center will host special events based on the toys.
