## What is Kaku.?

What would you draw from a single word? And how would someone else see it?

Kaku turns one Japanese word into three hand-drawn pictures, sealed inside a capsule machine for people you haven't met. Browse the words and silhouettes, use a ticket, and receive one of the remaining originals. The picture stays a surprise until you open the capsule.

Make a machine with three drawings inspired by one word. Choose from three shapes and eight color schemes. Draw on full-screen portrait 3:4 paper, then fill areas with eight colors while keeping your lines. When a capsule opens, the drawn lines play back to reveal the picture.

The world of Kaku is made to look like cut paper. A window on each machine shows how many capsules remain. Refreshed sharing cards let you pass along a machine's word and silhouette.

Manage your machines, drafts, and drawings together in the Create tab. Refill capsules that have been taken from your machine with new drawings, subject to availability and safety review. In Discover, switch between the newest machines and a shuffled selection.

Your name and profile aren't public, and there are no popularity counts. Let the word and the drawing speak for you. You can report a machine or a received drawing, and block its creator.

For ages 18 and over. Browse, receive drawings with tickets, and work on drafts without signing in with Apple or Google. Publishing requires Apple or Google sign-in. After signing in, you can choose optional notifications in Settings and change each type at any time.
