Program Showing

3D Large Scale Image Program "FURUSATO - World Heritage Sites Viewed From Space -"

The natural asset of New Zealand shows us the signature of the Earth's long history. Approximately 5,000 years ago, the cultural asset of Egypt was created by the civilization that flourished along the Nile River. The Itsukushima Shrine is one of Japan's three great views and one more world heritage in Hiroshima is the "Hiroshima Peace Memorial" which is a reminder of sorrow in the human race. We will present world heritage sites in 3 different places along with an accompanying story through the eyes of children that live in those places. At the same time, we will also introduce cultural assets and natural assets on Earth as seen from space with "DAICHI" using high precision images.

This program was created originally by Mr. Kundo Koyama who won an Academy Award for the screenplay for the film "Departures."

- Beautiful world heritage sites viewed from space -
"DAICHI" is the Earth observation satellite that cooperates in the preservation of world heritage from space. The beautiful pattern of Earth composed of world heritage sites as seen from space will impressively be rolled out for all to see.

- 3D world heritage using 3D live action images -
Giant ruins and natural scenes will be recreated with a dynamic realistic sensation as if you were on the spot by using the super high precision 3D images taken by the 4K3D digital camera.

- The story of the Starry Sky and the children who live in world heritage cities -
With an original story by Mr. Kundo Koyama, the academy award winning writer, the world legacy will be portrayed through the views of children living in world heritage cities.
