Summary
In describing his Ibasho, 14-year-old Ryohei described, “I prefer not to stay in my own room…. [playing with peers] is much fun…. when I am playing with everybody,… at such time, I feel most comfortable.” Similarly, 14–year-old Masaru described activities in his Ibasho that make his life more comfortable or enjoyable, “As usual, I talk with Kenta. Then I can laugh.” On the other hand, 15-year-old Ayako identified solitary places as her Ibasho: her room where she listens to music and rests on her bed, and the veranda. “When I have bad things, I go to spend time there [veranda]…. I cry there.”
