week10 : Future


Hello! Today’s blog is the last in this class, so finally we are free! But I fell a little sad.
In the last I talk about “Future of Karakuri doll”.
How transform are Karakuri dolls?

[Robot]

<AIBO>
Sony created this pet type robot. AIBO’s formal name is “Artifical Intelligence roBOt” and it derives AI, EYE, AIBOU (it means partner). This robot become important turning point of the history of robot because it had the world admit the category “pet type robot”.




<Trumpet robot>
TOYOTA created this robot to display at EXPO 2005 Aichi Japan. Scientists filled technologies of industrial robot, control technologies of cars, and high technologies in this. “He” is able to walk on two legs stably and play the trumpet.




[Effects]
Karakuri doll gave people great effects in many aspects.

(1) The value as the systems that leave technology and technical skill
To achieve continuous development the system that leaves wisdom of ancient people next generations is most important. Dashi karakuri festivals are very good chance to show the wisdom for young because this festivals gather without no distinction of age or sex.

(2) The relation ship of maker, player and audience
This three elements combine to play Karakuri number. Who handles Karakuri doll catches those atmosphere and mental states. There is value in the communication that between Karakuri doll and human.

(3) Educational value and activation of regions
Not only Karakuri dolls but also musical accompaniments are innovated in the education of elementary schools and junior high schools step by step. And these shopping streets or self-governing bodies are increasing that saw Dashi Karakuri in a new light as a motive power of activation of regions.

(4) Motive power of manufacturing ideas
The many kinds of Karakuri dolls that we saw in our childhood bring up mysteries or interest, and encourage switch of idea in each fields. It becomes “motive power” that creates high technology. For example “Rangui watari(乱杭渡り)” which goes up stakes lined up like as stairs evolved robots, “Henshin Karakuri ” which a doll transform a shrine evolved solar panel of satellites or folding system of panoramic antenna.
Karakuri dolls premise that it is used for 50 or 100 years and it is designed to repair easily. It is also excels as bearing from environmental change that it is mirror of a Recycling-based Society.



[Evolution of Karakuri doll to robot]
Most famous robot in japan is “Astro boy – Tetsuwan Atom –” and “Doraemon”. No image in Europe like as robot have heart like human. It is Japanese original idea that robots take a communication with human. This idea was caused from Karakuri. Hundreds of years of tradition of Karakuri brought up Japanese cultural climate that enables people to love dolls “who” behave like human. 





[Future]
Karakuri dolls enable to fuse with culture, art, custom, and economy. Robot should take over this fusion. At first Karakuri dolls were made to entertainment around people and it haven’t changed still now. We should leave good aspects of Karakuri dolls forever.
