There, he temporarily stayed at the house of the Fuyuki\u2019s, a wealthy lumber merchant family. He drew the designs on the wife\u2019s kimono as a token for the hospitality. Before the garment underwent conservation work to prevent further degradation which has been occurred by wear and tear over the years and enable safe handling, we were allowed to photograph the garment in ultra-high resolution. Archiving the condition of valuable cultural properties is essential for passing them onto future generations. The 400MP Pixel Shift Multi-Shot for the GFX system was selected to record the history of this cultural property and create an accurate archive prior to the restoration work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_b961944b356718dff6d41766ea013a36\" class=\"wp-block block-gallery-modal flex flex-col align-center\">\n    <div class=\"w-full aspect-3\/2 bg-gray-400 flex flex-col align-items items-center mb-4 relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"957\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-4.png?width=717&amp;height=957\" class=\"w-full h-full object-contain aspect-3\/2\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-4.png?width=717 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-4.png?width=225&amp;height=300 225w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-4.png?width=365&amp;height=487 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-4.png?width=600&amp;height=801 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-4.png?width=640&amp;height=854 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/>        <div class=\"attachment-caption w-full text-xs text-center text-white absolute bottom-4 left-0 z-[5]\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <button data-target=\"modalblock_b961944b356718dff6d41766ea013a36\" class=\"openBtn border border-black mx-auto font-fjalla-one py-2 px-6\">\n        Click to see an enlarged image of that part    <\/button>\n    <div id=\"modalblock_b961944b356718dff6d41766ea013a36\" class=\"lightbox hidden fixed z-50 left-0 top-0 w-full h-full overflow-hidden\">\n        <span class=\"close\">&times;<\/span>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01_zoom-7-scaled.png\" class=\"lightbox-content object-contain m-auto\" loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">        <div class=\"zoom-in\">+<\/div>\n        <div class=\"zoom-out\">&#8211;<\/div>\n        <div class=\"fullscreen\">[ ]<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SHOOTING&nbsp;DATA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Robe (<em>Kosode<\/em>) with Autumn Flowers By Ogata K\u014drin \/ Important Cultural Property \/ Edo period, early-18th century \/ TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooperation \uff1aThe National Center for the Promotion of Cultural Properties<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Camera]<\/strong> GFX100 <strong>[Lens]<\/strong> GF110mmF2 R\u3000LM WR <strong>[Sensitivity] <\/strong>ISO400 <strong>[Aperture]<\/strong> f8 <strong>[Shutter Speed]<\/strong> 1\/20 <strong>[Resolution]<\/strong> 400MP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sideview_img_01-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268439\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/ loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lighting used\/broncolor\/LED Light+Umbrella\/6units<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/slider_img_01_pc-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268435\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/ loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PHOTOGRAPHER\u2019S&nbsp;VOICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When shooting close-up shots for archival purposes, the resolution of the viewfinder becomes very important. With a 5.76M dot resolution, GFX100\u2019s viewfinder works perfectly, allowing me to easily adjust the focus manually. Not only the resolution of the viewfinder but also the feature which automatically magnifies to the focus point when rotating the focus ring on the lens were very efficient.<br>The 400MP resolution image captured by the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot feature of the GFX camera is outstanding. It captures a massive amount of information which is more than what human eyes can recognize. The soft texture of the silk thread used for the \u201c<em>Kosode<\/em>\u201d was even recognizable from the 400MP image.<br>Since this feature merges multiple images to achieve the unparalleled 400MP resolution, using a secure tripod and taking other measures to prevent any shakes or unwanted changes within the frame are required. Although it requires extra care, the outcome of the image is rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taro Terashi<\/strong> (Japan Professional&nbsp;Photographer\u2019s Society)\/Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>K\u014drin Kimono Restoration Project<\/strong><br>The K\u014drin Kimono features a design by Ogata K\u014drin.<br>Now, after 300 years, the garment is in need of restoration.The K\u014drin Kimono Restoration Project is now undertaken by Tokyo National Museum and the National Center for the Promotion of Cultural Properties(CPCP).<br>With your support, we will ensure the valuable cultural property is passed down to future generations.<br>\uff08<a href=\"https:\/\/cpcp.nich.go.jp\/modules\/r_free_page\/index.php?id=50&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/cpcp.nich.go.jp\/modules\/r_free_page\/index.php?id=50&amp;lang=en<\/a>\uff09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRobe (Kosode) with Autumn Flowers\u201d (Tokyo National Museum collection) features designs painted by artist Ogata K\u014drin in the early 18th century.K\u014drin was born in Kyoto and later went to Edo (as Tokyo was formerly known).
