The rapid aging of the Japanese population continues, and, in response, education for the elderly is becoming a boom phenomenon. Extrafamilial interaction among the generations is not necessarily a large part of such programs, but awareness of the significance and necessity of such interaction is gradually growing. Schools, adult education facilities, and social welfare facilities are working to provide as many chances as possible for senior citizens and children to socialize. The aims of the programs are (a) to nurture in children a proper understanding of and love and respect for the aged and (b) to educe in the elderly the desire to participate actively in society by sharing their experiences and abilities and to provide them a sense of something to live for. In this new era of 80‐year life spans, the creation of communities that support the good health, enthusiasm for life, and peace of mind of their senior citizens is becoming one of Japan's foremost concerns
