ABSTRACT
In 1739, Western perspective drawing reached Japan via China. Before then, Japanese drawing, known as Yamato-e, had depicted architectural space through parallel projection. This was true for the ukiyo-e compositions that were popular among the general public during the Edo Era as well (see Figure 1.a). For some time after perspective drawing reached Japan in 1739, ukiyo-e artists created ukiyo-e compositions that incorporated perspective drawing called uki-e (see Figure 1.b). However, this movement was short lived, and after 1800, ukiyo-e artists created compositions using their own type of structure that did not conform to perspective drawing. [Kuroda 17] [Oka 92] [Kishi 94] [Yokochi 95] Works from this time by artists such as Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige also became influential in the West through the Japonism movement of the 1860s. Figure 2 typifies the style of ukiyo-e composition from the 1800s.

Ukiyo-e Rakkan Retrieval System
ICDAR '13: Proceedings of the 2013 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and RecognitionRakkan is a Japanese word for the signature of the artist for a completed painting. In this paper, we propose a system that helps the users to identify and retrieve rakkan images of ukiyo-e paintings. The users can select the rakkan region from a ...
Virtual Participation in Ukiyo-e Appreciation using Body Motion
AH '18: Proceedings of the 9th Augmented Human International ConferenceThis paper presents a novel method of art appreciation by participating in artwork using virtual reality technology. We chose a famous ukiyo-e work titled "many people are assembled to create one good person" drawn by Kuniyoshi Utagawa in the Edo period ...
3D-modeling and 3D-printing Explorations on Japanese Tea Ceremony Utensils
TEI '17: Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionIn this paper, we inquire aesthetical aspects of the Japanese tea ceremony, described as the aesthetics in the imperfection, based on novel fabrication technologies: 3D-modeling and 3D-printing. To do so, 3D-printed utensils (chashaku and chasen) were ...
