Outline of Final Research Achievements

The ultra-thin bronze vessels, with thickness less than 1mm, has seen a wide-spread distribution in China since the late Spring and Autumn Period (fifth century BC). Some examples of these ultra-thin bronze vessels from the collections including those from the Tokyo National Museum, Kuboso Memorial Museum of Arts, Izumi, were tested by a three-dimensional scanner, an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, and a CT scanner. The series of analysis made it possible to visualize various kinds of surface marks made an object was being made, as well as to reveal component composition and an internal structure. In addition, techniques and methods for producing the ultra-thin bronzes, inferred from those data, were tested at a metal casting studio of Tokyo University of the Arts. As a result, it became clear that the ultra-thin bronze vessels were created using new techniques different from the traditional techniques of the ancient Chinese bronze production.
