Education is the entrance.
The whole family is the exit.
We are a general incorporated association in Nagono, Nagoya. An early-learning classroom, websites for local shops, advice on homes, and a place for adults to learn — whatever happens to a family, through one door.
Most pages beyond this one are in Japanese. Write to us in English any time: info@nouikugift.com
Six building blocks spell “nouiku” — and a family.
Our logo was designed by Nippon Design Center (producer: Takayanagi). It hides three readings you only notice once someone tells you.
Brain education, so: building blocks. Every block on this site comes from here.The top row reads “n · o · u”. Turn the bottom row upside down and it reads “i · k · u”. Together: nouiku — “growing the brain”.Read it in columns: mom, child, dad. A family silhouette made from lowercase letters.
What I want to share is not only brain education. I also focus on the parents who raise the children — so perhaps the real theme is love for the whole family.

Four businesses. One idea.
Everything that happens to a family is connected. While a child’s brain is growing, parents are thinking about a home and about work. So we never split them into separate companies.
