The Synthetic Research on the Fundamental Materials in the fields of Kogei and Design.

研究小艺的困难源自许多习惯和历史背景，研究设计的困难源自瞬息万变的形势和趋势。因此，我们期望通过数字技术的适当手段来解决这些问题，并建立一个对这些领域的研究人员有用的数据库系统。这应该是日本描述小艺和设计作品的标准模式。在从不同的机构收集数据后，我们将原始数据映射到描述不同类型材料的标准模型上——艺术作品、书籍、文件等等——关于Kogei和Design。这些领域对日本近代美术史的新观点具有吸引力。由于明治维新后日本从西方引进了艺术观念，给传统的文化风格带来了巨大的变化。艺术体系应该考察艺术作品的描述方式。为此，我们将在该数据库系统中测试一些方面。因为西方绘画或雕塑的描述方式并不适合日本的艺术作品。

Difficulties of study on Kogei are originated from many habits and historical background, one on Design from rapidly changing situation and trends. So we expected to make a solution for thsese circumstances by using proper means by digital technology, and then settle up the data base system that is useful for the researchers in these fields. This should be a standard model for discription of Kogei and Design works in Japan. After collecting data from separeted instituions we did mapping the original data on the standard model of description for different kinds of materials--art works, books, documents and so on-- on Kogei and Design. These fields are attractive for the new point of view on the history of art in the Modern times in Japan. Because Japan imported the concept of arts from the Westafter the Meiji Restration, brought a great change in the traditional style of culture. The system of art we should examine on the means of discriptions of art works. For this we will test some aspects in this data base system. Because the way of description for Western paintings or sculpture is not adequete for Japanese works of arts.
