JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe so-called Iwasaki-Watanabe Collection includes numerous photographs of steam locomotives, stations, railway bridges, etc., used by Japanese railways at the turn of the century just before the 1906-1907 railway nationalization. The core of the collection, irreplaceable materials for Japan's railway history, is composed of 3, 327 dry plates taken by the famous photographer Kazumasa OGAWA, who travelled throughout Japan accompanying two young businessmen, Teruya IWASAKI and Shiro WATANABE. The current reproduction method uses brownie-size negative films with images of enlarged prints obtained from the dry plates 40 years ago. To make the best use of the collection, fundamental solutions are urgently needed including digitization of the images.View full abstractDownload PDF (4985K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA large quantity of the copied plan and character documents made of photosensitive materials are stocked in the archives and the libraries. These documents need to preserve in the near future, because they will have historical values and deteriorate gradually. In this paper the authors describe that history of the copied documents, the results of “the questionnaire about preservation for the plan documents”, and the results of accelerated ageing test by exposure to visible-ultraviolet light or heat. This research shows that the facilities collecting the copied documents are worrying themselves about their preservation and the noticeable fading behavior in diazotype printings exposed to heat is observed.View full abstractDownload PDF (2729K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe archive at the photography department at the Japanese Prime Minister's residence in Nagatacho, Tokyo, is a legacy to future generations that is filled with photographs that capture many of most important events in the modern history of Japan. During the thirty-five years I spent at the photography department at the Prime Minister's residence, I photographed eighteen different Prime Ministers, from Eisaku Sato to Junichiro Koizumi, and contributed some 400, 000 color and blackand- white photographs to the archive. The images in the archive help convey the rapid evolution of Japan's political history, and at long last efforts to preserve them long term have gotten underway. In this digital age, I would like to explain both the practicalities of preserving silver bromide film in an analogue format, and plans for public disclosure of these images based on digital searches.View full abstractDownload PDF (2634K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDuring visits as an assistant of Mr. Shoji Ueda on the International Festival of Photography in 1978 in Arles, France, and the Photokina in 1980, Germany, I saw many outstanding images by the established photographers in the world, and I realized my hidden wish to record the “San-in” in photography. The photographs “Freaks” by Diane Arbus impressed me let to seek “my photography” for several years, and I found my identity in taking photographs of the locality and people in San-in, especially around Tottori of my hometown. Keeping my interest in the relatively narrow region near Tottori was not easy, and sometimes I tried to image outer world. However, I realized the value in recording the same region for tens of years; some of local landscapes, life styles of people, festivals and many other localities had disappeared in these years. I consider that the continuous observation of the same place is worth of my life as a photographer.View full abstractDownload PDF (2390K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSea cow fossils have been found on the riverbed of the Toyohira River in the south area of Sapporo City. Sea cows are large aquatic mammals of the older Sirenia. The fossils are believed to be over 7milliom years old, making them the oldest remains of the extinet large-size type sea cow genus ever found in Japan. And then, these foseils provyed valuable data for the clarification of the evolutional process that caused sea caws to increase in size over the age.
I was concerned directly in these discovery and excavation. And I think discovery of fosseles looks like archaeological discovery and excarvational surveys. I would like to be enjoy reading this story for members of cultural assets keeping.View full abstractDownload PDF (2633K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDiketopyrrolopyrroles are typical hydrogen-bonded pigments of red color based on the skeleton of 1, 4-diketo-3, 6-diphenylpyrrolo [3, 4-c] pyrrole (DPP). Our previous investigation revealed that the 1: 1 mixed crystal (MX-DPP) composed of DPP and its t-butylphenyl derivative (BTB-DPP) gives practically the same electronic spectra as well as X-ray diffraction diagrams as those of the molecular crystal composed of the hybrid component of DPP and BTB-DPP: MTB-DPP. In order to elucidate the above coincidence, electronic structure has been studied in the present investigation on single crystals of MXDPP and MTB-DPP on the basis of the structure analysis. The space groups of both crystals are found to be the same (P1) and the crystallographic parameters are quite similar. In both MX-DPP and MTB-DPP, the same molecular environment (in other words, the “local similarity”) prevails throughout the crystal. Furthermore, the polarized reflection spectra measured on single crystals also give approximately the same result. These experimental facts lead us to conclude that the “local similarity” plays the key role in the coincidence of the crystal and electronic structures in MX-DPP and MTB-DPP.View full abstractDownload PDF (1015K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe developed a new MTF measurement method for medical image viewers using a bar pattern image. This method was designed for easy measurement of the overall resolution property of the cathode-ray tube display and the video interface of a computer. A bar pattern image on display was photographed with a single-lens reflex digital camera, and the waveform data obtained from this image data were interpolated by a waveform reproduction technique based on a sampling theorem. MTF was then calculated by frequency analysis of the interpolated data. Actual measurements were performed with two models of medical image viewers, and the high reproducibility and easy operativity of this method were shown, which demonstrates its usefulness at coming age of image diagnosis by using display in the medical field.View full abstractDownload PDF (2602K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAlthough development fog arises from the formation of fog centers (i.e. Ag clusters) owing to the electron injection from a developer to AgX grains, the introduction of strong electron traps into the interior of AgBr grains did not influence the rate of development fog formation. It was therefore considered that electrons did not injected into the conduction band of AgBr grains during the formation of development fog. By taking into account the fact that electrons captured by chemical sensitization centers are easily released to the conduction band, it was also considered that electrons were not injected into chemical sensitization centers from a developer. Chemical sensitization however increased the rate of development fog formation with increase in its activation energy and frequency factor at the same time.
It was suggested from these results that the first step of development fog formation was direct Ag2 formation by the injection of electrons from a developer to a Ag+ pair on the grain surface. The higher the electron-accepting levels of Ag+pairs were, the larger would be the density of states and/or the cross section of the levels. Further, the higher the electronaccepting levels of Ag+ pairs were, less stable would be the Ag2 thus formed. It was therefore considered that chemical sensitization accelerated the development fog formation by stabilizing such unstable Ag2 clusters and enhancing their coagulation to form fog centers.View full abstractDownload PDF (1797K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper will discuss that the first Japanese photographer in Kyoto was not the well-known Yohei Hori but Nobushige Horinouchi. He was born as a guardian of Chion-in Temple and run small teahouse in the temple. Occasional visit of the famous photographer, Tokujiroh Kametani in his teahouse had given a chance to learn for Horinouchi the techniques of photography. A portrait taken by Horinouchi is identified as the first photograph by Japanese photographer native in Kyoto. He began business to take photographs of visiting people to the Chion-in Temple, and sold souvenir photographs of beautiful scenes, temples and shrines in Kyoto. His photographic skill must be outstanding in taking outside scenes with early photographic materials.
I also will discuss the relationship between photography taken by Horinouchi and the tradition of that period, and how his photography had the influence on the photography and paints in that period.View full abstractDownload PDF (10256K) -
