Zusammenfassung:•We have tried to make the historical and cultural heritages into interactive system.•We have chosen Rakuchu Rakugai-zu, a map of Kyoto in early 17th century.•Information regarding more than 2000 people in the drawing were identified.•Viewers can interactively ask various questions about people in the drawing.•The system was shown at exhibitions attracting more than several thousand visitors. Rakuchu Rakugai-zu are screen drawings illustrating in and around Kyoto and various versions were created from the beginning of 16th century until 17th century. As in the Funaki Version of Rakuchu Rakugai-zu everyday lives of over 2000 people in Kyoto are vividly painted, the drawing is a good material to learn their customs in early 17th century in Kyoto and thus, could be relevant for entertainment, education, etc. However, if background information is not provided, it is difficult to understand the details of the drawing. How to document such information and how to provide people such information would be crucial for adequate application of such precious cultural heritage. To cope with this, we are carrying out a project to develop the interactive Rakuchu Rakugai-zu, Funaki Version. Firstly, we digitize the drawing with ultra-high resolution. Secondly, using historical books regarding the customs of that era, we identify clothes and behaviors of each person in the drawing and linked them to the person in the drawing. Thirdly, we develop the technology to provide such information interactively using text. Fourthly, we develop present Funaki Version including various Manga (comic) characters so that we can compare old and present customs of people.
