JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAfter resigning from the Bauhaus, Johannes Itten founded his art-design school, the Itten-Schule (1926-1934) in Berlin. Among the instructors at the Itten-Schule were Japanese painters Shounan Mizukoshi and Yumeji Takehisa, and Kuniyoshi Obara watched Mizukoshi's lesson. Misses Mitsuko Yamamuro and Kazuko Imai Sasagawa, two Japanese students from the Jiyu-Gakuen, studied at the Itten-Schule. In this paper, I clarified the followings: the details of the exchange between Itten and the Japanese in Berlin, the Japanese painters' influence on Itten's art theory, activities of Alekisan Nagai as a liaison between Itten and the Japanese painters, and the influence of Japanese painting contained in Itten's education conveyed to Japan. I further described that Yamamuro and Sasagawa spread Itten's education in Japan and kept educational exchange with Itten, and that their friend Eva Plaut, a student of Itten, taught Itten's education to Hiroshi Ohchi, who later translated Itten's Color-theory. Thus I discussed the contact: between Itten and Japanese design education.View full abstractDownload PDF (2390K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this research is to clarify the relationship between visual and voiced sound images perceived in seeing and reading Japanese typefaces. Firstly, we prepared three different typefaces with three different levels of weight for some Japanese imitative words printed in Katakana, Japanese square phonetic syllabary, and took a questionnaire survey in order to pick up common images described by Japanese adjectives. Then we sampled the same Japanese words and elements of typefaces which had> held a majority in the former questionnaire, and surveyed the images sensed in seeing them. As a result of these two surveys, common adjectives could be found both in visual images of Japanese typefaces and in voiced sound images of Japanese words themselves. We also recognized this tendency in the fine typefaces usually used as body types. Consequently, intentional expression of voiced images can be considerable by the command of body types as well as display types.View full abstractDownload PDF (1416K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAt present, the scale for the landscape design of a roadway has not been setup or systematized efficiently and not reflected on social needs. The purpose of this study is to build the evaluation scale for a driver to feel an amenity and safety, which is significant in the landscape design of a motorway. The research was conducted to identify the landscape elements of the view from a motorway and to analyze how these elements would affect a sense of amenity and safety while driving. As a result, it turns out that the main elements that consist of the view from a motorway are the structure of cross section (side grade and surface material) and road alignment (length of sight), and the evaluation scale that is simply marking these two elements is established. The evaluation scale was confirmed the validity, and examined for application to design for the roadway.View full abstractDownload PDF (2228K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper is about the research conducted to analyze what sort of factors the subjects, composed of 52 students of Ulsan University, consider important in purchasing food or commodity products with two research items: 1) the tendency of university students to purchase goods 2) influential factors in purchasing goods by item. The result of research indicates respectively that the subjects consider important "design", "function" and "sale" for 'cosmetics', 'synthetic detergent (bath)', "design" and "sale" for 'beverage (fruit juice, carbonated beverage)', 'ice cream', 'confectionay (biscuits)', 'confectionary (cookies)', 'confectionary (snacks)', 'confectionary (pie)', "function" and "sale" for toothbursh/toothpaste', 'milk products (powdered milk)', 'synthetic detergent (laundry)', 'fermented food', and "design" and "function" for "processed cereal products(cooked rice), 'processed fishery products (marsh clam soup), 'retort food(boild beef soup', 'seasonings (Korean bean paste), 'instant food(Alaska pollack soup), 'air fresh-ener1. This draws a conclusion that different factor is influenced depending on the product students want to buy."View full abstractDownload PDF (1183K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSResearch was conducted on the terrace space of an independent residence of Provence, in the south of France, as to how greenery is associated with it and how it is used. The traditional method of achieving amenity by utilizing the characteristics of plants on the terrace's spatial structure was still found in the existing independent residences. Although this method is highly estimated by residents, change of a state of leafy shade has been also found. A terrace is such a space where activities relating to leisure and social occasions take place, and it is considered by residents to be essential for their daily lives. Furthermore, the research revealed that, in the terrace space, greenery of leafy shade enrich people's life by playing a large and positive role than being merely the objective of appreciation; they also have an impact on the formation of the intermediate space that connects the inside and outside of the residence. The multifunctionality of the terrace space obtained by relating to plants was found to contribute to the formation of an enriched lifestyle, as well as to work as a device to support the outdoor life.View full abstractDownload PDF (1467K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSYoko Kuwasawa founded the 'Kuwasawa Design School' in 1954. Masaru Katsumi, one of the founding members, established the 'Intematinal Design Committee', and led the design movement in Japan in the 1950s and 60s. Here, the phrase "design movement" represents the combination of the three following activities: design education, design research and the good design movement. To achieve design education, the Kuwasawa Design School was created as a vocational educational institution, and the 'Art Education Center' was established to incorporate art into general education. In the area of design research, the 'Japanese Society for the Science of Design' was formed. In the good design movement, the 'Good Design Corner' was created in Matsuya in Ginza to educate the general public, and the "Living Design Magazine" was published to enrich people's lives. Hence, the Kuwasawa Design School has acted not only as an educational institution, but also as an organization to organically combine various design activities.View full abstractDownload PDF (2256K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEileen Gray(1878-1976) is known as a furniture designer and architect who had responded keenly to the times. This paper analyzes the design methods in the minimum house E.1027(1926-1929) executed by Eileen Gray. The compositional principles which underlies the house design are examined through the analysis of Four Style Manipulation which characterizes her furniture and architectural design in E.1027. It indicates that Eileen Gray attempted to realize the simplicity, clarity, and flexibility of spatial expression in her first independent architecture by the application of technical skills which have been developed in her furnitures. It is apparent that Gray intended to connect and work well all the architectural elements, such as architecture, furniture, and human beings that make important rolls in the life.View full abstractDownload PDF (3159K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEileen Gray (1878-1976), is known as a furniture designer and architect who had responded keenly to the times. She continued to produce various screens throughout her life. At the beginning of her career, she produced lacquered screens and interiors with the collaboration of the Japanese lacquer artist, Seizo Sugawara (1884-1937). Sugawara taught lacquer art to Eileen Gray in Paris. After 1925, Gray produced quite radical architectural work as house E.1027. She was greatly interested in the manipulation of the screen itself:"variableness". With the completion of E.1027, Gray applied the characteristics of a screen to architectural elements such as window and wall. She regarded the folding screen not only as a mere decorative art but also as an important architectural elementView full abstractDownload PDF (3438K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe media picture treated through the computer has a certain relation with perspective drawing. However, it is known that three-dimension expressions using perspective creates a problem of distortion of the structure. Therefore, people must correct the distortion by their personal sensibility of production. To increase accuracy, it would be better to produce desirable three-dimension image by extracting revised perspective using mathematical and quantitative analysis. This report examined the balance of perspective image through the movement of the viewpoint. The current result confirms the previous research, even though vanishing point varies on the horizontal line axe (HL), the division ratio of the line (gh) is invariable; 1:1.5. Furthermore, by comparing this result to the space structure of the perspective. It was found a proportion model of space. The characteristic of this model invariably keeps a mathematical structure called "self resemblance nature". The space by this model can be accurate to express perspective with mathematical uniformity and order.View full abstractDownload PDF (1856K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe evaluated the effects of female shirt colors for job interview suits on the clothing message A basic dark gray suit and an open-collar shirt were used Twelve shirt colors were examined (10 pale tone and 2 achromatic colors). The subjects were 166 female students who were job-hunting, and 157 bank recruiters who were interviewing job applicants. The females selected the colors they would like to wear and the bank recruiters selected colors that impressed them favorably. Concerning the color, the subjects performed image assessment by the SD method using 25 pairs of adjectives. The colors preferred by the female students and those that favorably impressed the bank recruiters were white and blue. Factor analysis showed that the female students sought refinement and intelligence in colors they would like to wear, while the bank recruiters sought sincerity in colors that impressed them favorably. The clothing message differed with the shirt color worn.View full abstractDownload PDF (1149K)
