| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to expand the potential for the expressiveness of Japanese lacquer through the future use of digital technology. Specifically, this was done by verifying the weight and strength of a dry lacquer (kanshitsu) hemisphere with a diameter of 10 mm that was fashioned by cutting a piece of wood using a 3D cutting technique to a thickness of between 1 mm and 5 mm and to which linen cloth and silk were layered. The use of a thin wooden core, which was thinly cut on both the external and internal surfaces using a 3D cutting machine, allowed the finished product to remain lightweight―a characteristic feature of the dry lacquer technique. Selecting the wood to be used and adjusting the fashioning process to ensure that the weight is not increased, even if the finished product itself is slightly thicker, achieves this lightweight product goal.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
漆芸の歴史は縄文時代から存在しているが、まったく同じ技法が継続している訳ではない。時代の要求を満たすさまざまな対応をしてきたからこそ、長い期間存続し、世界に誇る伝統と成り得た。現在の漆芸作品において主流な、乾漆技法は、造形しやすい反面、漆樹液を大量に使用するため、漆樹液の確保という課題が生じている。また、漆器に使用される木材を加工する人材確保も困難になってきている。そのため、デジタル技術を取り入れることにより持続可能な漆芸文化の継承に貢献することができる。
