A study on self practice navigation system for the "kana" strings

Abstract

The "kana" strings are an indigenous character to Japan. Chinese characters were simplified and made into the original phonograms. The culture of the "kana" strings was intended in commuting lessons under the master. Meanwhile, IT devices are greatly improved and they are now applied in various fields (For example: In the art field, preservation of the cultural heritage and e-Leaning etc.). Therefore, it was examined whether an IT device can be applied to practice in the "kana" strings. A method of outputting a beautiful model was already studied [1]. But it was considered whether the practice by the navigation support method is effective [2]. This paper describes the construction method of self "kana" strings practice system that adopts the navigation support method. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
