*******************************************
On Sunday, March 17, we held the “World Expanding with Digital Ehon Exhibition” at the “Workshop Collection in Yoshimoto” event, which took place at the Yoshimoto Kogyo headquarters! We selected 14 works from a total of 700 entries submitted from 52 countries around the world.

The children were beaming with joy as they enjoyed the stories, tried their hand at creating their own works, and experienced a variety of new forms of expression!
