Quantitative Evaluation by Production Technology and Reproduction of Traditional Folding Fan

摘要

Japanese folding fans were born during the Heian period (794 -1185) and had been used in various situations. Many of the fans in the Edo era (1603-1868) had become sophisticated by the processing technique of “natural materials” and its application to “artistic originality”. For the technological and the reproduction, it is important that the investing and the consideration from viewpoint of description which arises by folding configuration of “Folding Fan”. In this study, multidimensional measurement of closed and opened shape of folding fan was carried out for the quantitative evaluation and the re-verification and the revaluation over looked in the past researches of “Folding Fan” become possible.
