Prize Comment
Thank you so much for the recognition for Ishikawa Koji Award. The reason why we start producing this Tokoton series is for children to have an experience of new stimulation and a discovery by “picture-sound-touch”. This car is coming! is the second version of this series. With an encouragement of this award, a whole team continues to produce a wonderful work.
Comment by Juror
When you touch a screen, a car comes out one by one. The longer you press, the bigger the car becomes. If you touch police, you can stop all cars at once. The system of this app is quite simple but this gives us a pleasant moment like playing with balloons or soap bubbles. I think that this is an interesting example of a simple Digital Ehon.
