One time when I was in grad school a professor told us about a problem (having to do with the equations of polymer adhesion to a surface). He said he didn't know the answer, but if anyone worked it out he'd give us extra credit. After class several of us went over to the library to do a literature search and see if we could find any papers on the topic, and we did find one. Even better, it was in a journal our library had. The excitement rapidly dissipated when we discovered the journal was in French. Everybody else headed back to the chemistry building; I stayed and made a copy of the paper. Later somebody from the class and saw me looking at the copy at my desk and said "I didn't know you could spoke French." I said "I don't, but the important part of the paper is not in French, it's in Math, and I DO speak Math."

The museum, which featured the park as an outdoor exhibit, had been closed for years (keeping science museums running and relevant is notoriously difficult). Still, the organization behind the museum is keeping the spirit alive by hosting children's science workshops, even though COVID hit them hard. Here's hoping they continue the legacy.

Yea, I found this really touching. Oftentimes, when Western personalities cover topics in East Asia, it's only a surface level view from the outside looking in. This was really refreshing how it turned out to be a view into one person's quirky passion project on the other side of the world. The son's effort to preserve it the best way he knows how is really endearing, but also a little sad because you know at some point it will likely decay beyond repair. A reminder to enjoy things while they last, that the world is made up of real people, and gratitude to channels that take the time and effort to share stories like this.

What a beautiful story. The math park deserves more attention than what Friendly Horse Guy is able to give. There should be kids playing on those things! And adults as well! Also Mrs. Hashimoto deserves more recognition. It is awesome that you have made this video for everyone to enjoy, thank you.

There is also a klein bottle climbing thing for kids in the Phaeno in Wolfsburg germany. I visited it several times (with my kids). You can google it to get some pictures. IMO its closer to the original than the one in the video.

There’s also a modular Möbius Loop-inspired sheet metal wall with rock climbing handholds attached on both sides called the Möbius Climber. I know this because, in my last year of elementary school, all the 5th-graders got to gather into groups within our classes and choose one playground item each to try to get approval from faculty to add it to the school playground. I wanted to do the Möbius Climber but my group ended up doing a modular artificial natural-looking stone arch that I didn’t like at all.

On google maps and street view it looks to be a normal residential house. I'm guessing the house where his mother lived. In Japan it's common to tear down the house and build a new one, instead of renovating, so it might be something along those lines. Though that is of course just speculation.
