(iii) Shadow picture A shadow picture of a female shape generated from the Origami work of a bird shown in Figure 558. Mr. Akira Yoshizawa is famous as an Origami artist, and also has been investigating research on shadow pictures. Although there is a difference between Origami and Shadow painting, they are similar in that both are art and design which promote "simplification" of a object with a concrete shape by omitting details. The art shown in Figure 561 is related to the change
of "meaning", and special meanings are given to the shadow. This art is
gruesome since the shadow has an opposing meaning to the picture which
makes the substance. Although it is difficult to project lights to it,
even a more realistic art could be created if it is described similarly
to a photograph. However, the interest in this print painting will be proportionally
lost since the rising sword is expressed by a black shadow.
