Oyako Day is a gift to the future, nurtured by all of us!
~ Present to the future~
Oyako Day 2026, celebrating its 24th year, will be held on Sunday, July 26!
What if there were one day each year when parents and children could pause and truly connect with one another?
A day that helps strengthen the bonds shared by families everywhere.
Inspired by this vision, photographer Bruce Osborn founded Oyako Day in 2003.
Once Upon a Time Vol. 3 revisits Bruce Osborn’s departure from Los Angeles in September 1976 and the beginning of his life-changing journey through Europe.
Photographer Yasu Mochizuki hosts a special Oyako Day Family Photo Session in Sumida, inviting families to celebrate the bonds between generations through photography.
Join Oyako Day Abiko for a special one-day celebration featuring a Bruce Osborn photo exhibition, family photo sessions, and a lively Oyako Day Marche for all ages.
The guest of the 45th Oyako Day Online Talk Live is Yumiko Minegishi, Representative Director of the general incorporated association Yushin. From the idea behind her "Yushin Method" — blending playfulness with quiet, absorbed concentration — to her insights on children who've lost the chance to play outdoors, the community connections built through growing and dyeing indigo in Kanda, and her closing message for the future that "every living thing has life," she shared the roots of her work and her outlook on life. This article delivers highlights from the talk livestreamed on April 26, 2026.
Bruce Osborn joins 17 fellow artists in a group exhibition at OKERA House in Hiratsuka, featuring a large-format photograph from his beach-found flip-flop series.
The guest for the 48th Oyako Day Online Talk Live is Kazuko Koike, one of Japan’s most influential creative directors.
Koike began her career writing copy for the Seibu Saison Group before becoming an associate curator at the newly established Seibu Museum of Art. She later played a key role in the founding of MUJI in 1980 and went on to establish and direct Sagacho Exhibit Space, becoming a leading figure in Japan’s cultural and design communities.
It was during those formative years that Bruce Osborn, newly arrived in Japan, first met Kazuko Koike.

第51回「親子の日オンライン・トークライブ」のゲスト、Yaeさん。お父様は、社会に向けて行動で発信し続けた故・藤本敏夫さん。お母様は、歌を通してメッセージを届け続けてきた加藤登紀子さん。Yaeさんは、その大きな発信力を受け継ぎ、「半農半歌手」として、農と歌という二つの道を歩みながら自らの思いを発信し続けています。受け取ったものを守るだけではなく、育て、次の世代へ手渡していく。今回のトークライブでは、そんなYaeさんの生き方を、「親子の日」が大切にしている思いに重ねながら、お話を伺えたらと思っています。
