Fujifilm is in the process of creating digital archives for
cultural assets so they can be viewed on the Internet.
For example, picture scrolls that could not be touched at
museums or temples can be maneuvered freely on the
screen, such as enlarging the image using your mouse *.
Because we want more of the world to see Japan's
treasures.
Fujifilm is recording Japan's hidden-away treasures in
ultra high-definition.

* EzMaper system (high-definition image digitization service)
Japan's picture scrolls, ancient documents, and ancient maps,
treasured for hundreds of years..
Historical treasures such as these have been stored with great
care because exposure to outside light and outside air cause
permanent damage. Only a small circle of people, such as
historians, were able to see these.
Fujifilm is supporting the creation of digital archives of cultural
assets owned by temples and universities, and other
institutions.
We have entered an era in which anyone can enjoy viewing our
valuable cultural assets on the Internet.

With the Fujifilm EzMaper system (high-definition image
digitization service), even large-volume image data such
as long picture scrolls of several meters can be displayed
smoothly without interruption.
And that's not all. Details are crystal clear even when you
enlarge the image.
The experience is like having the real thing in your own
hands - this is what it feels like to be a historian.

The picture scrolls and ancient documents are shot with a
high-performance micro camera.
The film used for this is Fujifilm's color microfilm type RII.
With rich gradation sequence and excellent reproduction
capabilities for brilliant color, everything down to the last detail
is captured with clarity.
Next, the film is read by Fujifilm's color scanner "Lanovia
Quattro" for digitization.
These technologies make it possible to record realistic
images that are like seeing the real thing. Long-term storage
is also enabled.
Fujifilm looks forward to helping other countries share their
treasures with the world.

Here's one example. A research institute in Great Britain
requests a university to lend it a musical score handwritten
by Haydn for research purposes.
Though the university wishes to cooperate, it can't risk the
possibility of accidental damage to the original score while it
is being researched or transported.
However, the digital version of the musical score can easily
be shared at no risk.
Fujifilm's digital technology may just one day contribute to
making a historical discovery.
