Basic modeling design education using knives

Design of tea scoop for tea ceremony

Abstract

We aimed for a smooth transition from basic modeling education to professional design and confirmed that educational potential. However, we discovered the lack of formative experience of freshmen and difficulty in modeling.
Therefore, we introduced basic modeling design using knives "Design of Cyashaku" for pre-admission education. Cyashaku is a type of tool used for the tea ceremony, nowadays usually bamboo, and the shape is representative of Japan's beautiful style. We confirmed the possibility as a formative education of freshman students.
