Changing the educational system needs a long time. I will continue these kinds of
public activities, but at the same time, I am afraid that there is not so much time left.
Thus I decided to start making private creations. My newest challenge is to create
digital picture topics for kids, as learning materials.
My group is now developing new types of digital materials for kids' learning—
applications for smart phones and tablets establishing the studio “Digital Ehon, corp.”
“EMAKIMON” is based on the old Japanese style picture scroll. A mother and a
child can read and play together making their own story. You can also draw your own
cat and egg, characters you play with.
We also provide workshops using this material. We concentrate on making ma-
terials that allow you to create your own characters and stories so that you can join
the digital world.
“tap*rap Shiritori”. Shiritori is Japanese for “word chain game”. Each time you
touch the panel, sounds and sand gather at the point, and then become words and
pictures.
The only form of input is tapping. The most primitive and simple interface will
stimulate users language acquisition. Its advanced model, the “tap*rap Photo Shiri-
tori” application is a tool that enables you to make your own Shiritori game. You can
take photos and record your sounds, and then you can play with those materials.
