Traditional Toys and Games in Japan

Abstract
Sales of traditional toys and games continued to grow in Japan in 2022. Taking into account the impact of COVID-19, which underpinned growth for classic games and puzzles such as board games, jigsaw puzzles, Yakyuban, and Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu in 2020, it is surprising to see continued growth, especially as COVID-19 was considered endemic from 2022, and considering the declining number of children in the country.
