Canon Inc., in partnership with the Kyoto International Culture Foundation, announced today the selection of 18th century paintings on the partitions in the Ooshoin Room of Kyoto’s Rokuon-ji Temple (also known as Kinkaku-ji Temple, or the Golden Pavilion) as the latest undertaking of the Tsuzuri Project,*1 a cooperative initiative that aims to preserve and pass on Japanese cultural assets to future generations using the latest digital technologies. Preparations are currently underway to produce high-resolution replicas of the artwork, which are scheduled for public display in autumn 2010.
