FlyingCat

We’ve launched the Japanese version of “FlyingCat,” a free tool that makes it easy for anyone to create and share Digital Ehon!
We also plan to hold courses and workshops on creating Digital Ehon using FlyingCat in the future.

Please be sure to use this tool to create your own original Digital Ehon!
And please submit your work to the Digital Ehon Awards!
I hope this will inspire many new Digital Ehon creators.
*There were a few twists and turns along the way, and it took a whole year to get this up and running… but I’m so glad we were able to launch it successfully♪

———–We are pleased to announce that Digital Ehon Co
., Ltd. has been appointed as the official partner to oversee the joint development and distribution of the Japanese version of “FlyingCat,” a digital picture book creation software developed by Bookjam, a company based in Seoul, South Korea.

"FlyingCat," a Digital Ehon creation tool, is currently used by creators in 140 countries around the world and allows users to create a wide variety of interactive content with surprising ease.
We hope that the launch of the Japanese version of FlyingCat will contribute to the widespread adoption of digital content and serve as an opportunity to nurture the next generation of Digital Ehon authors.
Moving forward, we plan to launch various collaborative initiatives, including Digital Ehon awards, Digital Ehon creation courses, and workshops.
