An 84-year-old woman familiar with local children as “Grandma Santa” before Christmas visited an elementary school in Sagae City, Yamagata Prefecture, and gave children gifts and performed magic.
Toshiko Kikuchi (84) in Sagae City has been giving gifts to Kosei Elementary School near his home every December since 14 years ago and is loved by children as “Grandma Santa”.
On the 12th, Kikuchi appeared in the elementary school cafeteria in the form of Santa Claus and presented a bag containing sweets to each of the nine school children.
After this, Mr. Kikuchi showed off magic by taking out a bird toy from a black top hat and linking the strings together in an instant.
The children were applauding the magic of "Grandma Santa" with a surprised voice.
The sixth grader girl said, “I was surprised to see the magic tricks. Grandma Santa is very entertaining and entertaining, so it ’s sad that you wo n’t be able to see it after you graduate.”
Mr. Kikuchi said, “The children were like grandchildren and I was looking forward to seeing them. I want to come again next year.”
