Bosai JAPAN-DA Project to Raise Disaster Awareness
Given that insurance is one of our core businesses, Sompo Japan focuses on raising public awareness of disasters. In the
Bosai JAPAN-DA Project, we host puppet shows and experience-based workshops to teach children —
society’s future leaders — and their guardians how to protect themselves and others in emergency
situations.
The puppet show, performed by the Yumemi Trunk Puppet Theater Troupe, is an original adaptation of The Three Little
Pigs. It tells the story of how the three pigs help each other to overcome various calamities (wind, rain,
lightning, fire, etc.) caused by the big bad wolf. Also, in the experience-based workshop, provided in partnership with
the NPO Plus Arts, participants get to move their arms and bodies in fun ways and take part in a quiz, all the while gaining useful knowledge and skills for
responding to crises.
Since the fiscal year 2020, with the aim of preventing the spread of COVID-19, we have prepared videos, worksheets, and information material for guardians and teachers that can be viewed online or downloaded.
As of March 2024, these events have been held 685 times across Japan attracting approximately 96,000 people.
