Abstract
Skills of experts in sports, dance or musical instruments performance are known as embodied expertise. Embodied expertise is a kind of tacit knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalizing it. The aim of our study is to translate embodied expertise into explicit knowledge, i.e. onomatopoeias. We call the onomatopoeias "embodied expertise onomatopoeias" which could facilitate people to precisely understand the skills. Acquiring "embodied expertise onomatopoeias" is considered as a problem of pattern recognition. Our study adopted a skill of Japanese calligraphy using pen to be translated to onomatopoeias, and investigated a possibility to construct the pattern recognition system for the skill.
