PROJECT

Recognition and generation of traditional Japanese patterns

Team: Asahi Adachi (Student Researcher), Lana Sinapayen, Jun Rekimoto


We are developing a technique to recognize and generate traditional Japanese patterns, often called wagara. Wagara has been used for traditional Japanese garments (e.g., kimono and yukata), wallpapers, and other historical items for a long time. This project focuses on such traditional and historical patterns and generates a discussion about the fusion of culture and technology. In the future, we are considering creating fabrics and products with the designs generated in this project.
