LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles<\/u><\/a> is pleased to announce the upcoming opening of \u201cNEO-JAPONISM | SAMURAI AND BEYOND: Exploring Tradition Through Technology,\u201d<\/u><\/strong><\/a> an exhibition commemorating the 100th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of\u00a0broadcasting in Japan\u00a0started by three radio stations which later became the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, or NHK.\u00a0On display February 14 – September 1, 2025,\u00a0visitors can explore\u00a0the innovative artwork scanning technologies NHK utilizes to present interactive high-resolution 3D scans of Japan\u2019s cultural treasures.\u00a0Building on the growing global popularity of samurai-era culture \u2013 as witnessed in FX\u2019s \u201cSh\u014dgun\u201d and Sony\u2019s \u201cRise of the Ronin\u201d video game \u2013 presentations will also include techniques employed by NHK to bring Japanese culture to life from their renowned, year-long \u201cTaiga\u201d historical drama series \u2013 which often depict samurai, warlords, and noblewomen from the pre-modern period.<\/p>\n

To commemorate this milestone, NHK is producing special programs and developing exhibitions in conjunction with unique and cutting-edge visualization technologies they design and implement to promote a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. The exhibition also showcases NHK\u2019s interactive technological collaborations with Japan\u2019s important museums, allowing greater access to Japanese cultural treasures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibition utilizes media arts to present a broad spectrum of historical Japanese works \u2013 from clay and ceramic, to woodblock printing and painting, to architecture\u2013 inviting visitors to fully explore Japanese cultural aesthetics that collectively contribute to NEO-JAPONISM,\u201d said Yuko Kaifu, president, JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles. \u201cThis intangible but consistent \u2018Japanese-ness\u2019 underpins Japan\u2019s historical cultural output and represents Japan\u2019s contribution to global culture and entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, NHK and its subsidiary NHK Enterprises (NEP) used three-dimensional computer graphic (3DCG) technology to create high resolution 3D scans to build a library of Japanese cultural artifacts. Previously only accessible by visiting a museum where they would be displayed behind glass, the artifacts vividly come to life in this exhibition as 3DCG objects, allowing visitors to explore the objects as interactive video experiences \u2013 close up, viewed from typically inaccessible angles, and augmented with audio and graphical annotations.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is presented in four distinct zones:<\/p>\n
