Learn Japanese with the Kenya Flag Coloring Page
This unique coloring page is not just about the Kenya flag; it’s a gateway to learning Japanese language and culture. Designed in the style of Japanese primary school worksheets, it provides a fun, hands-on way to practice Katakana, the Japanese script used for foreign names and loanwords.
Cultural Features in This Worksheet
- Katakana Practice: The title “ケニア” (Ke-ni-a) is written in hollow characters, allowing you to trace and color the strokes to memorize the characters.
- “Norishiro” (のりしろ): On the left side, you’ll see a vertical strip labeled “のりしろ”. In Japanese crafts, this means “glue margin.” It indicates where you should apply glue to bind pages together into a “World Flag Book.”
- Layout: The clean, organized layout with a color guide (mihon) is a staple of Japanese “Nurie” (coloring) culture, emphasizing precision and learning.
About the Kenya Flag
As you color, remember the significance of the colors: Black for the people, Red for the struggle for freedom, Green for agriculture, and White for peace. The Maasai shield and two spears symbolize the defense of freedom—a concept expressed as jiyu (自由) in Japanese.
