[Featured Award-Winning Work] oh! The Magic Drawing App

As we gear up for the 6th Digital Ehon Awards, we’d like to continue introducing past winning works!

This time, we’re featuring the winner of the “Yuichi Kimura Award” at the 5th Digital Ehon Awards:
“oh! The Magic Drawing App”
!

In this app, various shapes—like triangles (△), squares (□), and circles (◯)—instantly transform into buildings, people, and vehicles!
It’s a work that sparks your imagination and keeps you excited, wondering what shape will appear next!
It’s a fun picture book where, as you play, your very own original town takes shape on the screen in the blink of an eye!
Plus, if you change the angle of the screen, the shapes instantly transform into something else—revealing all sorts of different expressions!
At first glance, it may seem like a simple digital picture book, but it’s a delightful work that sparks all kinds of imagination from just a few simple shapes!
We hope you enjoy it♪
