Workshop of KONOBU Co. (用具製作会社「(株)小信」工房)

3D Model

（株）小信は文化財修理に欠かせない彫刻刃物製作の技に定評がありましたが、2023年に廃業が決まりました。そこで当研究所では記録映像の撮影や聞き取り調査を実施しました。しかし、それだけでは用具を製作する際の工房内の間取りや道具・機械などの配置の正確な記録は困難でした。そこで、工房が取り壊される前に工房内の状態の3次元モデルの作成を試みました。

KONOBU Co. had a reputation for manufacturing sculpture carving tools, which is indispensable for the preservation and restoration of cultural properties; however, the retirement of the business was decided in 2023. Subsequently, TOBUNKEN conducted video and photo documentation and interviews. However, these were not sufficient to appropriately document the arrangements in workshops where sculpture carving tools were manufactured and the locations of other tools and machines. Therefore, we attempted to record the situation before the workshop was demolished, using a 3D digital documentation.
