No.6 Tomoyuki Sugiyama Prize

Osora no ehon

Liveenterprise(Japan)

About

It was made to the concept of “kids be fun, mommies be happy.
We want children to go to sleep in peace feeling mothers’ warmth and voice.
We also want mothers, who worked hard all day, to see their children’s smiling and sleeping face and their time to be fulfilled.
Staying close to such feeling, it helps have nice bedtime and contains enjoyable tricks.
This is a new communication item between parents and children.

Prize Comment

I am grateful to Ehon artists and publishers for sympathizing and collaborating on this project.
This product changes a good-night time to a lovely family time in a theatrical bedroom. This is a product that a sky picture book set into a special book disk is projected on ceilings by shedding a light from a smartphone. We continue creating a quality family fun time. Thank you for this wonderful award.

Comment by Juror

An idea of using a flashlight function equipped with a smartphone as light source of magic lantern is very smart. I am interested in a combination of an old-fashioned magic lantern and a digital content. For viewing a projected image to ceilings and walls, that room has to be dark. This wonderful device titled osora no ehon brings a situation of bedtime story for children. (Tomoyuki Sugiyama)
