Abstract

To provide a framed item on which a photographic image of Kyudo is formed, which gives visual depth and softness, improves the artistic quality of the work, and enhances the appeal of traditional culture. [Solution] A framed body containing a sheet of washi paper on which a photographic image of Kyudo is formed. The sheet is a traditional Japanese washi paper, made from a hand-made or machine-made flat-plate paper base containing plant fibers such as gampi, kozo, and mitsumata. The paper base has a transparency and ink absorbency due to the natural texture of the fibers, and the photographic image is formed on its surface. The framed body is equipped with a holding member that holds the peripheral edge of the sheet in a visible state, and a support that supports the sheet on the back side of the sheet.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technique of printing Kyudo photographs on Japanese paper, and is particularly suited to the purpose of utilizing the texture of Japanese paper to enhance artistic expression and preservation. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, glossy or matte paper has been used for photographic printing, but these have not always been suitable for conveying Japanese artistic expression or a Japanese atmosphere. In particular, for photographs depicting traditional culture such as Kyudo, there has been a demand for printing that makes the most of the texture of washi paper. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] With conventional photographic printing techniques, it was difficult to fully express the spirituality and tranquil atmosphere of Kyudo. This invention makes it possible to print Kyudo photographs on Japanese paper, taking advantage of its texture and feel, and to achieve a deeper expression. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The Japanese paper printing of this invention is achieved by digitally processing Kyudo photographs at high resolution and then printing them onto Japanese paper using inkjet printing, etc. The ink absorbency and fibrous structure of the Japanese paper used highlight the shadows and texture of the photograph, enhancing the spiritual and aesthetic sense of Kyudo. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] According to this invention, by printing a photograph of Kyudo on Japanese paper, visual depth and softness are created, improving the artistic quality of the work and enhancing the appeal of traditional culture. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] This invention relates to photographic works that visually emphasize the beauty of Kyudo by printing photographic images of Kyudo movements, stances, shooting techniques, and equipment on traditional Japanese paper. The washi paper used is either handmade or machine-made, such as gampishi, kozo, or mitsumata, and its transparency and natural texture of the fibers give the photographs a unique three-dimensional feel and a Japanese impression. The photographic images are printed using an inkjet or pigment printer, which allows the tension and serenity of Kyudo to be expressed in high definition without compromising the absorbency and texture of the washi paper. After printing, the washi paper can be displayed as is without framing or paneling, or it can be backed with a neutral paper support for preservation. There are various ways to display the prints, such as pinning them, hanging them like scrolls, or storing them in acrylic boxes. This invention can be used as an artwork that conveys the beauty of Kyudo culture in exhibitions, art museums, martial arts facilities, and other places both in Japan and overseas. [Example]

[0008] For example, photographs of archery practice positions and the moment of shooting were taken with a high-resolution camera and printed on mulberry paper using a special printer. The printed photographs have the texture and strength to be displayed as they are, without the need for framing or paneling. [Industrial Applicability]

[0009] This invention relates to the production of photographic works related to Kyudo, a traditional Japanese culture, and can be widely used as art objects, cultural assets, tourist attractions, educational materials, etc. Therefore, this invention is industrially applicable.
