JOURNAL FREE ACCESS"Dainihon Yogyo Kyokai Zasshi" is a japanese ceramics monthly, published since 1892. Until 1920 it contained a pictorial supplement introducing up-to-date examples of design (Isho Hyohon), with the objective to publicise exemplary samples to the mass of japanese ceramic manufacturers - thus today giving a synopsis of design trends at that era. The analyse of this source verifies close cooperation with the Department of Ceramics and Industrial Design of the "Tokyo Kogyo" school. Furthermore the Paris International Exposition of 1900 emerges to be a explicit watershed in japanese design development: initially under guidance of the early Meiji eras government, it changes to be affected by the european design movement upon the Paris Exhibition.View full abstractDownload PDF (2021K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis research is made to verify the correspondence between an actual impression and the "stereotypes" of text fonts, by conducting the impression evaluation experiment using SD method. This research also pursuits the relationships between specific font's form characteristics and its particular impression. In this experiment, factorial analysis and cluster analysis using SD method are conducted to the selected fonts, which are chosen according to its usage, country, and style. As a result, 3 possible common factors are extracted to explain the impressions of text fonts. Through further analysis, we concluded that "There are some correspondence between an actual impression and the stereotypes of text fonts, but some inconsistencies are also found." Moreover, we found the uniformity in the strokes induced the "Legible impression" in a most strongest way.View full abstractDownload PDF (1255K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this era, Japan's MANGA and animated works have come to be widely recognized and appreciated around the world. This paper explores the measures to effectively and comprehensively introduce MANGA to fashion design drawing education. As the questionnaire survey results revealed that students are familiar with MANGA and are ready to take those well. This paper verifies the common points shared and the different points between fashion design drawing and MANGA, though they have been dealt with as independent works or studies to each other to the present. The authors have proposed the effective and comprehensive use of MANGA in fashion design drawing education by incorporating MANGA's suitable characteristics for fashion design drawing as it is and adopting methods, those are also indicated herein, to correct inadequate characteristics for fashion design drawing as results of analyses of the impression evaluation experiment conducted.View full abstractDownload PDF (1631K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe conversion of target performance of the rollover property of pillows to design values is described. Organoleptic evaluation of the ease of rollover was performed using 6 different pillows and 16 subjects. In addition, rotary torque of the human head was measured for these six pillows. As a result, a highly significant correlation was observed between the average organoleptic value and the rotary torque. Furthermore, the rotary torque was converted to a design parameter using a physical model. Thus, the organoleptic value was converted to a design parameter. As demonstrated here, the use of organoleptic physical quantities of the human body (rotary torque of the human head) enables the application of device擁ndependent correlation of stimulus and sensory intensity to design, and thus opens the possibility of developing a new method for converting organoleptic values to design values.View full abstractDownload PDF (794K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this article, we examine a semantic content of 'ISHO' in the middle of the Meiji era, verifying usages of the word appeared in discourses on arts of those days. 'ISHO' was the equivalent for 'subject' in the context that Fenollosa advocated as required qualities for paintings in his notable lecture 'Bijutsu-Shinsetsu.' In discussions on modern literature which were enlightened by the Fenollosa's lecture, it was a equivalent for 'idea.' In discussions about rhetoric, a case as a equivalent for 'invention' was ascertained. Moreover, it was the equivalent for 'design' that meant 'adaptation of means to ends' which was the main thesis of teleology. Consequently, 'ISHO' means the thinking that a creator planned out characteristics of objects. Besides, it was a concept of which observers were conscious of a creator's intention.View full abstractDownload PDF (1594K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSOn examination at enacting legislation to protect design rights, it was deliberated concerning the text as protecting 'invention' of 'new form' or as protecting 'new scheme' of 'shape and pattern' in the early of the Meiji era. In the middle of the Meiji era, when the first ever ordinance of design protection enacted in 1888, the Japanese word 'ISHO' corresponded to 'design' in the English Design Act. After the overseas survey on design protection, Korekiyo Takahashi, the administrator who made efforts to enact the ordinance, had stipulated the text as protecting 'ISHO' applicable to 'configuration, pattern, or colour'. On the deliberation of enacting the ordinance, 'design' was understood as 'a thing which man conceives' and 'ISHO' was the equivalent of it in this meaning. 'ISHO' meant the thinking that person as a subject worked out features of an article as an object.View full abstractDownload PDF (1869K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe map in map style VMS is an essential part for quick and proper transmission of information. Conventionally, making maps was entrusted to the designer's sense. Sometimes it was not considered in visibility. Moreover, many processes are included for making maps, which needs careful consideration. Consequently, designers had less time doing custom design of each map. The present study proposes the process of design work of map style VMS for solving above-mentioned problem. This process can make maps with every designers of high quality in a short time. We selected the effective requirements for realizing process from diverse fields. The know-how by experience of designers is also included in this. Especially, we paid attention to smoothing and thinning in image data processing, and transposition of mapping. And we investigated the method for realization of design map. Maps made following this process were compared with maps using the current method and revealed the validity.View full abstractDownload PDF (1257K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSOur study is related with Regional ITS. Visitors are not familiar with the geography visited for the first time. If traffic trouble occurs, they tend to use major road. Local area does not have many major roads. Consequently, traffic problem is caused. And it has serious influence on life of peripheral people. We examined the design index of Map Style VMS providing detour information for local area. Especially we paid our attention to the scene of information acquisition of drivers. As a result of investigation, drivers have been classified into some types. They acquired the information elements in different sequence. Moreover, we investigated expression of easy-to-understand information elements for them using ANOVA. As a result, we acquired the new design index. It includes notation of place name for considering legal restrictions, and layout location of route mark. We summarize a result successfully and propose the Map Style VMS for providing detour information. Available effectiveness could be desired in local area.View full abstractDownload PDF (2249K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn ancient times, when people carved patterns in wooden buildings, they most likely wanted to leave some kind of message. For the people who lived in the buildings, life continued eternally through posterity, and these patterns were something akin to magical invocations designed to ensure prosperity. With this in mind, the author has endeavored to analyze and several patterns abstracted from botanical figures found in ornaments of classical architecture were reproduces by integrating logarithmic spirals. These logarithmic spirals identified in botanical figures on classical architectures and their ornaments, expressing plants themselves, repeating as simplified patterns, forming spirals, or filling the spaces in plant patterns, produced a sense of eternal life which could be seen rhythmically off and on. Moreover, these logarithmic spirals have been used over the years as design elements effective enough for the people who observe them to feel gorgeousness, to find sacredness in the botanical figures and to believe that they would be blessed forever.View full abstractDownload PDF (1782K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCreation of new concepts is the essential process of design, but the phenomenon of concept creation cannot be observed directly. In this research, we aimed to observe how concept space is transformed by performing a design experiment. We used the MDS method to observe the transformation of concept space quantitatively. Our method included use of questionnaires before and after a design experiment on concept synthesis. Our hypothesis is that a transformation of concept space can be observed quantitatively, and that concepts related to two main concepts will be closer to each other after the design process. To investigate the hypothesis, we used questionnaires with both a design group and a control group. Results indicated that the change between concept spaces (before and after) was greater for the design group than for the control group. This means that we can observe transformation of concept space quantitatively, and suggests that concept space is transformed, and that distances between concepts are shortened during the design process.View full abstractDownload PDF (1183K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn the design of curve utilized for the styling of present industrial products, it is important to grasp the macroscopic shape information that emerges from the interaction of shape elements and to control it appropriately, due to the human characteristic of recognizing the whole shape feature macroscopically. However, in conventional curve design using CAD, the information that represents microscopic shape feature quantitatively is mainly displayed, and the macroscopic shape information is grasped and controlled based on the experience and intuition of the designer. From these backgrounds, we have advanced our research for the construction of quantification method of "complexity", the macroscopic shape information, and that of curved profile generation method that allows manipulation of "complexity." First, this paper summarizes the problems in macroscopic shape information research based on the viewpoint of multi-space design model, and shows the guideline of macroscopic shape information research as contrasting with the problems. Next, this paper reviews the knowledge of related research from a viewpoint of multi-space design model that is important for the research on macroscopic shape information "complexity", and describes guidelines of the research on "complexity."View full abstractDownload PDF (1537K)
