Abstract:
Recently, digital archives of famous art works have been developed and their digital content were exhibited in public. In the present research, we focus on old art works of Osaka (a local area of Japan) which are valuable but buried in museum or library archives or otherwise forgotten nowadays. We are aiming at constructing the ‘cultural capital content’ that makes the art work itself popular and bring benefits of regional promotions for local society. We have already reconstructed the old cityscapes of Osaka using 3D computer graphics and confirmed the effects of the interactive content for education and sightseeing [Hayashi, 2013]. Here, the digital content of a picture scroll of Osaka painted by Shunboku Ooka (1680-1763) was developed using an ultra-high resolution imaging technology. A high quality replica was created and interactive content based on the scroll were developed.
