A New Visualization Method To Display Makuranosoushi －Method of arranging chapters,3D representation－

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new reading method that makes full use of the characteristics of literary works through the visualization of Makuranosoushi, which is a famous Japanese classical essay in Heian period. Makuranosoushi is made up of about 300 chapters, there is a characteristic that you can start reading from anywhere. While conventional media such as books have a linear structure, we develop a system with a structure that allows you to freely read from anywhere you start reading. So, present to readers with expressions using 3DCG. Utilizing our system, readers can read Makuranosoushi as they like without flipping pages, and understand the background of each chapter from many sides. This approach is one of the effective methods to preserve literary works.
