The toys required no power other than the childrens energy. Everyone has been talking about saving electricity, but all the toys in this show were moved with childrens energy. The toy car lights up and makes sound using electricity generated by manual movement. The show also displayed toys which allowed children to learn how to generate electricity by hand. The structure of the Japanese castle which was showcased was eco-friendly, as it lets in more wind, and the plaster finishing of the white wall of the castle absorbs carbon dioxide. The Japanese toy market grew 3.5 percent in the last business year which ended in March, and it is the first time the market has grown in three years.
