本作品では、デジタルファブリケーション技術を通じて、日本画の彩色手法の機械化に挑戦します。屏風や掛け軸などを彩る伝統的な手法の中でも、絵の具を立体的にキャンバス上に配置する「盛り上げ表現」に焦点を当て、膠（にかわ）を基とした素材を用いたキャンバスへの立体プリントを試みます。3Dプリンタを新たな絵筆として加え、画家と機械の共創を通じて生み出された作品は、どのように日本画の可能性を拓くでしょうか。
This work aims to mechanize the coloring method of Japanese paintings through digital fabrication technology. Among the traditional coloring methods that have been used to color work such as folding screens and hanging scrolls, we focused on the expression of moriage, in which a thick layer of paint is applied to the canvas, and have 3D printed nikawa-based materials on the canvas. When the 3D printer is used as a novel paintbrush, how can artwork created through the co-creation of the painter and machine open the possibilities of Japanese paintings?
