In addition, on the day of the event, we conducted a “Survey on Digital Ehon (Digital Content for Children)” among visitors (primarily parents) at the venue and have published the results.
The survey covered questions such as:
・What is the adoption rate of smartphones and tablets in households?
・What kinds of apps do parents hope to see in the future?
・What criteria do parents use when downloading apps for children?
These and other findings, along with feedback from participants at the event, have been published.
A comparison with the survey results from last year (2014) is also a highlight, so please be sure to take a look.

including a nationwide touring exhibition and other events.
We look forward to your continued support.
◆◇―――What is the International Digital Ehon Fair?――――――――――◇◆
The International Digital Picture Book Fair (Digital Children’s Book Fair) is the world’s first digital book fair that collects and exhibits “Digital Ehon”—children’s picture books, books, and other forms of digital expression—from around the world, designed for new devices such as tablets, e-readers, interactive whiteboards, digital signage, and smartphones.
We aim to create a venue where visitors can experience the appeal and potential of the rapidly evolving “Digital Ehon” field, as well as a gathering place for the artists, engineers, and companies involved in this industry.
The “International Digital Ehon Fair 2015,” held on August 29–30, 2015, brought together 350 works from approximately 45 countries around the world.
