Description
Medieval Japanese hand scrolls, brought back to life on your iPad.
Animal Giga Scroll (Animal Caricature Scroll, Scroll of Frolicking Animals) is a Japanese well-loved National Treasure, commonly called Choju Giga. Famous for its humorous depictions of various animals acting like humans, sometimes called the first Manga.
The Choju Giga consists of four separate scrolls drawn in ink on papers, and this App contains the first two scrolls supposedly drawn in the middle of the 12th century.
Scroll A, measuring 30.4cm × 11.5m (1 × 38ft), is the most famous and beloved, consisting entirely of caricatures of animals.
Scroll B, measuring 30.6cm × 12.2m (1 × 40ft), consists of depictions of various animals, both real and mythical.
Though they have no stories, and been disordered during the long-term preservation, the vivacity of the action and the sinuous elegance of the brush strokes are still outstanding.
- Swipe to view, and let the medieval animals frolic again.
- Pinch to zoom-in, and enjoy the high quality of draftsmanship.

Ratings and Reviews
More please
There was a 12th or 13th century scroll similar to this on display in the museum in Kyoto, Japan.
It had anthropomorphic animals of the Zodiac, in this same pictorial narrative style. It’s absolutely fabulous.
Does anybody know it?
Love This App
This is a fabulous app that allows you to view the first two scrolls of the Choju Giga as many times as you want and as slow as you want. It's great for anyone studying this illustration technique from the 12th Century. It's also great for folks like me who visited Japan, fell in love with these illustrations and collected many items bearing these drawings. My only negative is that there is no English translation.
Beautiful!
I don't mind the interface being in Japanese, but having an English option would certainly bring this beautiful artwork to a wider audience.
Please consider adding auto-scroll, so we can view it like a movie.
