Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a Japanese clothing for a figure. [Background technology]

[0002] Figures are known as dolls made for decorative purposes. Figures are often posed in a variety of ways, but because the aesthetic beauty of the pose itself is also an object of appreciation, their shapes are generally fixed, and fixed poses are considered excellent for decorative purposes. Naturally, the clothing worn by the figure is also an object of appreciation. In light of this, the inventors of this invention have adopted new manufacturing techniques that cannot be overcome with conventional methods for manufacturing Japanese dolls, in order to create beautiful figures dressed in luxurious clothing. This has led to the invention of figures dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a beautifully sculpted figure dressed in luxurious clothing. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] “Yoshitoku x F:NEX Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World − Rem -Japanese Doll- 1 / 4 Scale Figure”, [online], July 8, 2020, [searched March 8, 2022], Internet,<URL:https: / / fnex.jp / products / detail.php?product_id=71> Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The kimono shown in Non-Patent Document 1 is a scaled-down replica of a kimono for humans. It uses the same fabric as an actual kimono, creating a luxurious feel. However, due to the unique properties of kimono fabric, when a doll wears a kimono, the appearance may differ from when a human wears it. Furthermore, when a human wears a kimono, there are issues specific to kimono, such as wrinkles, which are unique to Japanese clothing and differ from those when a human wears Western clothing. While this issue does not significantly affect Western clothing for humans or dolls, it makes a significant difference when wearing Japanese clothing. Specifically, when a human wears Western clothing, raising and lowering their arms causes wrinkles to form at the armpits and shoulders, as the kimono is crushed like an accordion, whereas when a human wears a kimono, due to the properties and weight of the fabric, when, for example, the arm is bent and raised, large, beautiful wrinkles form at the elbow. Naturally, the arms of the figure in Non-Patent Document 1 do not have the accordion-like wrinkles found in clothing, but they do not yet reproduce the large, beautiful wrinkles that appear when a person wears a kimono. Furthermore, while one of the greatest attractions of figures is the ability to pose them in a variety of ways, the unique characteristics of kimono have been found to limit the poses possible, resulting in unnatural situations and limiting the range of poses. For example, in the figure in Non-Patent Document 1, if we were to pose the figure holding a folded Japanese umbrella, the arms would naturally need to be draped downwards. As shown in Figure 7(a), when the arms are draped, the kimono sleeves fall downwards due to the weight of the kimono. However, doll costumes tend to be more stiff than kimonos for humans because the fabric cannot be made thinner just by reducing the size. Furthermore, doll costumes are sometimes lined with nonwoven fabric or Japanese paper to make them easier to cut, which makes the tendency to stiffen even more pronounced. Figures 7(b) to 7(d) show the gradual draping of the arms in doll costumes. Figure 7(d) shows that the kimono sleeves do not fall downwards at all, resulting in an unnatural, flipped-up pose. To provide a Japanese clothing for a figure that can solve problems that arise when combining a figure with a Japanese clothing, in other words, can generate natural shape changes due to posing, or can prevent unnatural shape changes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The Japanese clothing for figures according to the embodiments of the present invention is characterized in that when the Japanese clothing to be dressed on a figure body having a fixed pose is of a size suitable for a human being, it has undergone preparatory processing to cause natural changes in shape due to posing, or preparatory processing to prevent unnatural changes in shape, and the Japanese clothing-dressed figure according to the embodiments of the present invention is dressed in a Japanese clothing for figures that has undergone such preparatory processing.

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be noted that the drawings are explanatory diagrams in which annotations and part names have been added to photographs for the purpose of explanation, and do not necessarily represent the actual form in which the present invention will be implemented.

[0009] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a Japanese clothing for a figure according to a first embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the state when the clothing is put on the figure, and (b) is an explanatory diagram showing the state when the cutting process is performed. The figure, dressed in a Japanese costume for figurine 1, holds a drum in its left hand and extends its right hand forward to play it. The natural wrinkles that appear when a human wears a real kimono are reproduced at the elbow of the right hand. These wrinkles do not appear when the kimono is dressed on a doll, but when dressed by a human, they are large, beautiful wrinkles that occur due to the weight of the fabric. As shown in Figure 1(b), the arms of the costume are first cut to remove excess fabric that would cause unnatural wrinkles, and then the fabric is bent and fastened to close the cut areas, allowing the beautiful wrinkles to be expressed.

[0010] 1(a) and 1(b), unnatural wrinkles are caused by bending the arms, so the amount of excess fabric that causes unnatural wrinkles varies depending on the degree to which the arms are bent, and no excess fabric occurs if the arms are not bent. For this reason, the present invention includes an embodiment in which the cutout is applied to only one of the arms that can be bent, depending on the various shapes of figures in asymmetrical poses, and an embodiment in which the shape of the cutout 21 is different between the left and right arms when the degrees of bending of the arms differ.

[0011] (Second embodiment) FIG. 2 shows a Japanese clothing for a figure according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the assumed pose, and (b) is an explanatory diagram showing the state when the clothing is worn on a figure. To create the appearance of a figure standing with a folded umbrella pointing downward, the figure's left arm is hung nearly vertically, as shown in Figure 2(a). As mentioned above, doll costumes tend to be more stretchy than human kimonos because the fabric cannot be made thinner just as the size is reduced. Therefore, when the arm is hung vertically, the kimono sleeves do not fall down at all, as shown in Figure 7(d) or the dashed rectangle in Figure 2(b), resulting in an unnatural, bouncing appearance. However, in the Japanese clothing for figures according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2(b), the kimono sleeves fall down under the influence of weight, just as they would when worn by a human.

[0012] This is achieved by the device explained in Figure 3. Figure 3(a) is an explanatory diagram showing a conventional sleeve, and (b) is an explanatory diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. Conventional sleeve patterns are rectangular, as shown in Figure 3(a). This is the same shape as an actual kimono, and after cutting, the sleeve is folded using the sleeve width at the part corresponding to the arm as a fulcrum and then sewn. In contrast, the second embodiment of the present invention uses a sleeve pattern that incorporates a new diagonal shape, as shown in Figure 3(b). This pattern is cut in a straight line so that the sleeve length is diagonal to the sleeve width. As a result, sleeve lengths 23 are positioned at diagonal angles on both sides of the sleeve width 22. After cutting, the sleeve is folded using the sleeve width 22 at the part corresponding to the arm as a fulcrum and then the sleeve lengths 23 on both sides are sewn. In this way, by making the sleeves oblique according to the angle of the arm, rather than making them rectangular like a kimono, it is possible to create a natural appearance, with the sleeves falling perpendicular to the ground, as if wearing a human-sized kimono, as shown in Figure 2(b).

[0013] (Third embodiment) It is also possible to address other issues by cutting the sleeves in a straight line so that the sleeve length is at an angle to the sleeve width, or by incorporating curves into the cut shape as needed. Figure 4 is a diagram for explaining this aspect, where (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the problems with conventional clothing, and (b) is an explanatory diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown by the dashed ellipse in Figure 4(a), there are strong wrinkles in the upper part of the sleeve length extending downward from the sleeve width. This is because the sleeves have been forcibly adjusted to hang down for a doll posed with its arms bent. By cutting the sleeve shape at an angle, or by incorporating curves as necessary, the weight of the sleeves can be properly balanced, and as shown by the dashed ellipse in Figure 4(b), the play in the upper part of the sleeve length extending downward from the sleeve width can be reduced, making it possible to reproduce natural wrinkles. As shown in Figure 4(a), the dressed figure is wearing a furisode with a long-sleeved kimono kimono, with the hitoe (sleeve) kimono draped over the left side of the body detached and hanging backward. As indicated by the dashed rectangular lines, the sleeves tend to sag. If a human were to actually wear this kimono, the kimono might also tend to sag, but we want to minimize this sagging without compromising the figure's elegance. Therefore, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve length is angled relative to the sleeve width, and the cut shape incorporates curves. As shown in Figure 4(b), unnecessary sagging is eliminated, allowing the hitoe (sleeve) draped over the furisode to be beautifully displayed.

[0014] (Fourth embodiment) FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a Japanese clothing for a figure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the assumed pose, (b) is an explanatory diagram showing the problems with conventional clothing, and (c) is an explanatory diagram showing the preliminary processing applied to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In order to make the figure appear to be standing with a ball in its left hand, the left arm of the figure is tightly fitted at the armpit, as shown in Figure 5(a). This means that there is insufficient space under the armpit, leaving no room for the kimono to sway. The problems that arise when fitting a kimono into such an underarm space are explained below. As shown in Figure 5(b), due to the linear shape and tendency for the kimono fabric to become loose, when it is fitted to an arm with a tight armpit, the sleeves naturally spring back. Even if one tries to let the sleeves hang down, the lack of space under the armpit prevents them from being folded up properly, resulting in a loose, unnatural shape. Therefore, the Japanese clothing for figures according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is pre-processed as shown in Figure 5(c). To allow the sleeves to hang down without changing the angle of the arms, the sleeves are made to hang from the forearms, which are nearly horizontal, rather than from the upper arms, which are nearly vertical. However, this creates the problem of the body and sleeves being separated. The seam between the body and sleeves is normally located at the shoulder, but if this seam were lowered to the upper arms, the shape would be unnatural, as mentioned above.

[0015] To solve this problem, as shown in Figure 6(a), a piece of fabric is added to fill the space between the sleeve 2 and the body 3 as a connecting member 31. The connecting member 31 is sewn to look like part of the sleeve. While the position of the sleeve has been lowered, the height of the seam between the body and the sleeve remains unchanged. Finally, the sleeve is shortened slightly to maintain the balance of the sleeve length.

[0016] The above detailed description of the Japanese kimono costume 1 for figure according to an embodiment of the present invention has been provided with reference to the drawings, and its characteristic structure has been explained. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these examples, and design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are also included within the scope of the present invention. While we have omitted an introduction to the technology used in conventional Japanese dolls, when dressing a kimono costume on a conventional Japanese doll, the arms are made of wire, allowing the shape to be bent during dressing, making it possible to adjust the bending so that wrinkles are less noticeable and the sleeves look natural. However, when the body is made of a figure, as in the present case, the body cannot be bent in the first place, and the more the elbows bend, the more likely wrinkles are to occur, and the closer the arms are to perpendicular to the ground, the more the sleeves will hang unnaturally. The biggest difference is that, while in conventional Japanese dolls, the design to make the kimono look beautiful is implemented on the doll itself, in the present invention, the design is implemented on the Japanese kimono costume itself. From this, it can be understood that the broadest technical concept of the present invention is to perform preliminary processing to match the fixed pose determined. Furthermore, the Japanese clothing does not have to be formal wear, and variations such as crested hakama are also included within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined by utilizing each other's techniques as long as there are no particular contradictions or problems in their purpose and configuration.
