A Study of Enma-Jizo-Juo-zu at Gentaku Temple in Kumamoto City
Get PDFKumamoto City’s Gentaku Temple, located in the Suizenji area, holds the 11 Hanging Scrolls Depicting the Ten Kings of Hell and Jizo (hereinafter referred to as the Gentaku Collection). Nine scrolls depict the kings Shinko, Shoko, Sotei, Gokan, Enma, Taizan, Byodo, Toshi, and Godotenrin, and one scroll depicts the bodhisattva Jizo. Finally, a large scroll depicts King Enma, the Lord of Death, completing the 11-piece Gentaku Collection. The collection is open to the public every summer ans is well loved by kumamoto residents, but it has yet to be the subject of any formal artistic or historical scholarly examination. Using information from an August 2014 survey, in this report we offer an overview of and introduction to the Gentaku Collection as part of an examination into the artists and creation of artworks related to the Yano school, the school officially commissioned by the kumamoto Domain of the Edo period. In this study, we first examined the unique construction and characteristics of the Gentaku Collection, followed by an analysis of its creation based on an examination of available materials. From this we deduced that a painter from the middle of the Edo period who was active in the Higo art world as well as Takakiyo Matsuoka, a painter from the rate Edo period of the Yano school, were involved in its creation . Finally, we conclude with an explanation of the significance of the King Enmascroll from the Gentaku Collection within Higo art histor
《The Fortress and its eventual fate》On Searching for the Boundary between Embodiment and Abstraction in the Landscape
Get PDF私はこれまで風景が“的”な絵を描いてきたと思う。過去の作品を見るとそう感じるのだが、自ら統一しようとしたわけではなかった。絵を描きたいと思うときは、何かを忘れないように記録したいと思うときであった。その記録したいものとは、私が過ごす生活そのものであったり、そのなかの一時の感情や思索であったりした。具現化しにくいものを記録するために、対象である感情や思索を並行して私の中にあった心象風景をそれらの象徴として描くことを選択した。それが街並や自然として画面に現れる。これが私の言う「風景画的な絵」である。制作をする中で、心象風景を忠実に描き出したいと思うと共に、一つの平面として見たときに美しいと感じられるものを作りたいと感じるようになった。その頃から本来の心象風景を画面の上では自身のバランス感覚において心地よいと感じられる形や配置、色、質感に変換し始めた。個々の物体から性質を抜き出し、形や色そのものだけの画面構成を繰り返すうちに、描く絵は抽象的な性格を持つようになる。対象を捉える上で最も適切である表現方法を試行する中で、それは具象表現と抽象表現の中間にあるのではないかと感じるようになった。一貫したテーマを持ちながらも一つの画面の中で具象表現と抽象表現の間を往復することで、求める表現に行き着くことができるのではないかと想定し、本作における研究のテーマとした
Practices of project based learning in design education: Participation in the school exhibition at Tokyo Designer’s Week (2013・2014)
Get PDFOne of the courses at the department of design, Sojo University, is a project-based learning class, “Kumamoto Design Project,” which is required to all students from 1st to 3rd year. Students are expected to propose design solutions through researches on characteristic features of Kumamoto area. This writing is to report a study on design education through project based learning programs, especially on a case study about participation in the international design event “Tokyo Designer’s Week”
Application of New Design Method by High-strength Composite Material
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is an application of new design method for integrating optimum strength evaluation and product design which can make the best use of composite material’s characteristics obtained by experiment and analysis. Here, the collaboration of design and strength by using composite materials is carried out. Many products, which are made from high strength composite materials, need new product design technology which draws out the characteristic of material’s advantage. Existing product developments tend to separate product design from product planning. The process consists of a certain flow, starting from planning the shape of the product by designers, then calculating the strength, and lastly designing the product. In new design method, it is performed a styling design by requirements from engineering point of view. By using this design method of high-strength materials, we designed new styling ZIGZAG chair made of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic with excellent strength and lightweight
First Language Orthographical Influence on Second Language Word Production
Get PDFEven with the increasing popularity and importance given to EFL education in Japan, Japanese standards are seen to be lagging behind in East Asia. Taking a quantitative approach, this study focuses on the effect of first language (L1) Japanese orthographic influence on second language (L2) English word production in regards to which processing skills are relied on when producing unfamiliar words at a junior high school in Japan. Participants were given a spelling test of unfamiliar words prior to and following explicit spelling instruction in common spelling patterns. The results show that after being given explicit instruction in common L2 spelling patterns, students were able to more accurately produce unfamiliar words. However, contrary to the hypotheses, students had difficulty producing words that had a one-to-many grapheme-phoneme correspondence and a high rate of L1 influence. Explicit instruction did not show any significant effect of limiting L1 influences, despite a higher rate of successful productions
Theoretical Analysis of Cushion Pressure Control of ACVs
Get PDF本研究では ACV のライドコントロールのため、クッション圧力をコントロールする方法について調べた。機体の動揺を抑えるため、エアクッションを形成する空気ノズルからの空気噴流の吹き出し幅を調節し、噴流の流量を調整するという簡便かつ実用的な手法を提案し、その可能性について理論的に調べた。空気噴流の作動状態を Overfed や Underfed と呼ばれる非平衡状態の作動モードに積極的に移行させることで、良好な結果と有益な知見が得られたので、ここに報告する

Usage and Perceptions of ChatGPT in Class and Self-Access Learning Contexts
Get PDFThis study investigated the usage and perceptions of ChatGPT among 1,129 non-linguistic major students in a medium-sized private Japanese university. As generative AI tools like ChatGPT become more prevalent in educational settings, understanding their role in language learning is essential. A branching questionnaire survey was conducted to explore how students use ChatGPT in both English classroom settings and self-access learning environments. The survey revealed that while 60% of the students have used ChatGPT, only 13% actively utilized it for English self-access learning and 11% used it in English class. In contrast, a significant majority (76%) reported using ChatGPT for subjects other than English, and 55% used it for daily life activities. These findings suggested that while ChatGPT has been widely adopted among students in the university, its application specifically for English language learning remains limited. This study highlights the need for targeted strategies to encourage the effective use of AI tools like ChatGPT in language education. It also underscores the importance of developing support to help students maximize the benefits of language learning through the use of emerging technologies as learning resources
An Analytical Study on Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Column with Wing Walls Based on Extended Modified Compression Field Theory
Get PDF本研究では、RC部材の断面解析に適用できるように拡張された修正圧縮場理論の解析モデルを用いて、袖壁付きRC柱のせん断耐力を求めた。得られた解析結果と既往の曲げせん断実験結果との比較により本解析モデルの袖壁付きRC柱のせん断耐力解析への適用性を検討した。また、袖壁付きRC柱断面を等価な長方形断面柱に置換してせん断強度を求める現行のせん断終局強度式による計算結果と既往の曲げせん断実験結果および本解析結果との比較により、置換断面法を用いたこれらの評価式の適用性を検証した。さらに、袖壁付きRC柱のせん断耐力に影響を及ぼす要因である袖壁の形状(袖壁長さ)およびせん断スパン比について検討した。11000955540
Measuring Fluency in English Language Writing
Get PDFThe present study was undertaken as part of a large-scale replication of aspects of Bonzo's examination(2008) of the effects of topic selection(teacher-selected versus student-selected) on written fluency. Participants engaed in six 10-minute writing sessions over a three week period. During this time, control of topic selection alternated between teacher and student so that by the end of the study each participant had written on three teacher-selected topics and three topics of their own choice. Student output was textually analysed and assigned a score for fluency. Means for both teacher-selected and student-selected topics were then subjected to a Correlated Samples t-Test. Results of the T-Test indicate that topic control did affect written fluency, with participants scoring significantly higher when given the freedom to select their own topics.11000955541
