“Amagatana” (the name means “rainy sword” in Japanese) is an example of Ubiquitous Content that is a mystical sword for enjoying the blithe feeling after the rain. “Amagatana” seems to be just a plastic umbrella. However, it makes a sound of swords clashing in response to the player’s swing. “Amagatana” also gives us the consciousness “What is your reality is not everybody's reality”. The project is granted by CREST, JST.
