We introduce studies on digital museums of cultural and artistic resources that originate primarily in Japan, conducted by Ritsumeikan University. These studies focus on digital archives of and exhibition techniques for the "objects" and "events" concerning the traditional cultural heritages in Kyoto, especially the Yamahoko Parade in the Gion Festival, using the latest technologies of high-precision 3D modeling, acoustic digital archiving, high-realistic sound filed recording and reproduction, visuo-haptic modeling, immersive display, and virtual reality.
