Consideration of Unchiku Generation with Moving Illustration Using Kabuki Dance Knowledge

Abstract

An explanation generation system based on narratology and an unchiku generation system has been developed previously. Moreover, we developed an animation system that simulates the stage performance structure of a kabuki work, Kyōganoko Musume Dōjōji. Based on this background, this study presents the basic method of unchiku generation using a moving illustration system. In the prototype, we use the legend of Dōjōji and edit the general explanation and unchiku texts of Kyōganoko Musume Dōjōji. Further, the system supplements the unchiku using the corresponding animations. We refer to these animations as moving illustrations. These unchiku and animations are not intended to explain the story, but to provide deep knowledge of the explanations inserted in the story.
