Projection Mapping Celebrating RIMPA 400th Anniversary

Abstract

2015 is the year of 400th anniversary of RIMPA, one of famous Japanese art schools. To celebrate this special year, the authors organized a projection mapping event at Kyoto National Museum in March 2015. As this is an event to commemorate RIMPA school, the authors tried to create contents based on the concept of RIMPA. At the same time, to appeal that RIMPA should expand into the future, they tried to introduce cutting-edge technologies to create the content. Therefore this event is a good example of how culture and technologies could be integrated together. In this paper both cultural aspect and technical aspect of this event will be described.
