## What is Bamboo Cicada?

Bring a traditional bamboo toy—and its unmistakable “wah” sound—back to life on your screen.

Bamboo Cicada is a playful, tactile experience inspired by a Chinese folk toy. Sweep the stick with your finger, move your iPhone, or turn on Auto mode. The bamboo body spins from its string while friction and resonance create its familiar call.

Move it your way

• Touch: Guide the stick directly and feel the string and bamboo body respond
• Motion: Use your device’s motion sensors to set Bamboo Cicada spinning
• Auto: Sit back and let it move and sing on its own

Three hand-drawn scenes

Travel between a moonlit bamboo grove, sunlit countryside, and a quiet willow reverie. Fireflies, rice fields, distant hills, a farmhouse, and trailing willow branches give every scene its own calm rhythm.

Choose a daytime companion

Pick a dragonfly or butterfly for the daytime scenes. They glide through the sky and flutter among the grasses, adding small moments of life to every play session.

Three cicada styles

Choose Natural Bamboo, Verdant Bamboo, or Lacquer Bloom. Each design keeps the character of bamboo, vermilion bands, and traditional craft details while offering a distinct color and finish.

See it from a new angle

Switch between hand-drawn and 3D views. On an ARKit-compatible iPhone or iPad, place Bamboo Cicada in your surroundings and bring the folk toy into your space.

Play on Apple Watch

Turn the Digital Crown or move your wrist to control Bamboo Cicada, then tap to pause.

Bamboo membrane, rosin string, friction, vibration, resonance—and a childhood sound ready to spin again.
