Abstract

In March 2007, Canon Inc., and NPO Kyoto Culture Association launched “Cultural Heritage Inheritance Project,” hereafter Tsuzuri Project. The aim of the project is to create high-definition facsimiles of Japanese cultural properties, such as folding screens and sliding doors, created mainly from the Azuchi-Momoyama period to Edo period, by using Canon's latest digital technology and traditional skills of artisans in Kyoto. Those facsimiles are donated to the places where have particular connections with the originals, such as temples and shrines. Also we use those facsimiles as to familiarize the people with Japanese cultural properties. Facsimiles are now variously-used by donees and through introducing the use of the facsimiles we seek the meaning and importance of this project.
