## What is The Garish Ghost?

One day, a little ghost picks up the hiragana character “KE”. 
He then suddenly finds himself enveloped in “KEmuri” (smoke) which makes his appearance turn all “KEba KEba” (garish)! 

Anxious to return to his original form, he sets out on an adventure... 
In this digital picture book you’ll discover enjoyment in the shape and sound of Japanese characters. Let's dive into a world of words!

This children's app were produced in a class titled "Project & Collaboration Seminar", held for students of the Department of Cross-Disciplinary Art and Design (Field of Media Art and Design) at Joshibi University of Art and Design in Tokyo, Japan. The students were entirely responsible for the planning, storywriting, illustration, animation and authoring of their apps over a six-week period. Children were invited to try out the finished programs, after which successive modifications were made.
