Tsuzuri Project: Connecting Painters with their Passions
The Tsuzuri Project is a joint initiative organized by Canon and the Kyoto Culture Association (NPO). By combining Canon's latest digital technologies with Kyoto's traditional craftsmanship, a high-resolution facsimile of Waves at Matsushima, painted on folding screens by Tawaraya Sotatsu, was created and returned to the work's original home at Shounji Temple in Sakai, Osaka.

Kenninji Temple Restoration - 50 Painted Panels
(05'10'') - Long ago, 50 panels painted by artist Kaiho Yusho were housed in Kyoto's Kenninji Temple. Because Kenninji Temple was damaged in the 1934 Muroto Typhoon, these panels have since been entrusted to the Kyoto National Museum in the form of hanging scrolls. The Tsuzuri Project is producing high-resolution facsimiles of these panels. Canon aims to allow beautiful works of art to be enjoyed in their original locations. As of May 2012, 36 of the 50 sliding doors have been reproduced.

Portraits on Silk
(05'22'') - For the first time, the Tsuzuri Project took on the challenge of producing high-resolution facsimiles of paintings on silk, reproducing the National Treasure Three Portraits of the Jingoji, which comprises the portraits of Minamoto no Yoritomo, Taira no Shigemori and Fujiwara no Mitsuyoshi. Almost half of the 150 paintings designated as National Treasures are painted on silk. Through repeated trial and error, all three portraits were successfully reproduced. This new achievement expands the possibilities of the Tsuzuri Project.

Tracing the Brush Strokes of a Master
(06'35'') - Landscapes of the Four Seasons, a National Treasure painted by Sesshu, was been passed down as an heirloom within the Mouri household. Revered as the "bible" of ink painting, this work has been copied by many Japanese artists, including those from the famous Kano school. By combining Canon's latest digital technologies and Kyoto's traditional craftsmanship, the Tsuzuri Project has succeeded in creating a complete high-resolution facsimile of the original 16-meter scroll.

- Digital Radiography
(02'30'') - Canon digital radiography systems, which enable the confirmation of preview images in just three seconds, have significantly contributed to the field of diagnostic imaging. By realizing a dramatic reduction in X-ray dosage and excellent image resolution, these systems minimizes the burden on both the subject and the operator. Canon has now made possible the real-time viewing of dynamic X-ray images in a compact, portable design.

- Optical technologies in the Subaru Telescope
(02'20'') - The Subaru Telescope was built on the summit of Mt. Mauna Kea in Hawaii by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. The telescope's prime-focus camera, which offers the widest viewing angle, incorporates Canon's prime-focus corrector lens system. Canon's advanced optical design and production technologies overcame various difficulties to achieve a compact, lightweight design and enable mirror observation, making possible prime-focus lens observation in one of the world's largest telescopes.
