A strange presence on a dark road, or a moment you cannot quite explain: this apparatus turns your experience into a yōkai with a name, story, and image that you can share.
Describe what happened and how you felt. The apparatus finds related folklore and suggests names and stories. Choose a suggestion or name the yōkai yourself, then select its appearance and an artistic style. At exhibitions, the result can also become a printed paper talisman to take home.
The project explores how people give form to mysterious experiences through storytelling, naming, and drawing. It invites you to take part in that process using today's technology.
