Research concerning costume image digital archive in modern Japan

本研究的目的在于厘清现代日本服饰的文化涵化，构建服饰影像数字档案馆。研究对象为1868-1945年间，和服生活与西式服饰生活相互竞争的时期。首先，通过对一份标志性文献和人物资料的分析，提炼出重要的文化适应主题，以明确形象的选择标准。其次，根据这些重要的主题选择了2万张图片。物体图像是场景中的人的形象。并对图像中所画主题的事实和可信度进行了讨论。此外，还回顾了这一重要主题的每一个概念。总结出的概念反映在《2003年服装图像概念检索码表》中，为了证明该表的有效性，利用约200幅图像构建了服装图像数字档案馆原型。并与主成分分析并行构建了服装数字年表原型，验证了主成分分析与服装数字年表相互关联的有效性。此外，与服装指数数据库相关联的PCA已经在网上展示，并验证了其与现有数据库的相关性。另一方面，通过讨论文化适应的重要主题，开展了现代日本的文化理论研究或历史研究。这一结果被描述在《现代日本的服饰文化》(三根社，2005年12月)中。因此，澄清现代日本每年更具体的人物形象的重要性已经被认识到，在2006年及以后，PCC将通过更多的图像和对相关社会状况的更多描述来丰富PCC。

The purpose of this research is clarifying acculturation about costume in modern Japan and constructing the costume image digital archive. The target period is from 1868 to 1945 in which the kimono life and the Western-style-costume life were competing against each other.First of all, in order to clarify image selection criterion, the important themes of acculturation were extracted by analyzing an iconic document and a character data. Secondly, 20,000 images were chosen according to these important themes. Object image is the person's figure in a scene. And the facts and credibility of a motif which were drawn in the image were discussed. In addition, each concept of the important theme was reviewed. The concluded concept was reflected in the [Costume image concept search code table 2003].Furthermore, in order to prove the usefulness of this table, the prototype of costume image digital archive (PCA) was constructed using about 200 images. Moreover, the prototype of costume digital chronology (PCC) was being constructed in parallel with the PCA, and the validity of linking with each other (PCA and PCC) was verified. Besides, PCA linked with the costume index database has already been exhibited on the web, and its relevance with the existing database was also verified.On the other hand, cultural theory research or historical study of modern Japan was developed by discussing the important themes of acculturation. The result is described in "Culture of costume in modern Japan" (Sangensha, December, 2005).As a result, the importance of clarifying the more concrete person's figure of each year in the modern Japan has been recognized, In and after 2006, PCC will be enriched by the more images including the more descriptions of the social condition concerned.
