SAME STAGE · THREE OBJECTS

Compare Daruma by the difference you want to see.

Start with one of six evidence questions. The preset selects three regional files and shows place, material, silhouette, face and eyes before any optional 3D model loads.

START WITH YOUR QUESTION

Choose the difference you want to check.

Each preset opens three source-mapped files at the front view. You can change every selection in the workbench afterwards.

  1. QUESTION 01

    Does one prefecture mean one Daruma style?

    Fukushima alone says no.

  2. QUESTION 02

    Are papier-mâché Daruma always round?

    The shell can change the whole outline.

    Takasaki Daruma versus Sankaku Daruma

  3. QUESTION 03

    Do all Daruma begin with blank eyes?

    Eye practice changes by tradition.

  4. QUESTION 04

    Is a Daruma always a paper shell?

    Material can redefine the object.

  5. QUESTION 05

    Does every Daruma repeat one face?

    The figure can carry a different identity.

  6. QUESTION 06

    Do Matsukawa and Matsumoto name the same fibre-haired Daruma?

    One similar name can swap the whole evidence trail.

The presets compare recorded fields and interpretive Web studies. They are not measurements, scans, authenticity checks or rules for every maker.

3D COMPARISON · DATA-SAVING START

Read the five shared fields first. Load the PBR stage only when motion or side and back views will help.

BUILD A COMPARISON

Choose three distinct regional files.

Each selector uses the same 15-record atlas. A record already chosen in another position is removed from the remaining lists.

Keep this exact comparison

The browser URL remembers all three files, the shared camera angle and the lens position. The Markdown brief carries the five evidence fields, measured model-shape profile, claim links, source trails and boundaries. Access remains owner-only until public launch is approved.

DIFFERENCE DIGEST

Read the evidence fields before the render.

These are canonical descriptions from the same regional records used by the individual evidence files. They are not visual measurements or authenticity tests.

MEASURED DIGITAL SHAPE

Compare what the published 3D files actually contain.

Each selected GLB is height-normalized to 100, then its axis-aligned width and depth are read from the audited binary bounds. This makes the reconstruction differences inspectable without pretending they are physical-object measurements.

Machine-measured shape profile for the three selected interpretive Daruma Atlas GLB files.

Do not use these values to identify or authenticate a physical daruma. They describe Atlas reconstructions after digital height normalization—not real dimensions, workshop specifications, scans or proof of regional scale. Download the complete 15-file audit JSON.

FRONT-VIEW DIFFERENCE LENS

Move one edge across two normalized studies.

Object A stays beneath Object B. Move the control to inspect where their illustrated silhouette and facial treatment differ before loading the 3D stage.

This is a normalized atlas presentation of two interpretive front posters. It is not a measurement, scan alignment, authenticity test or proof of identical physical scale.

Your A, B and C selections also update these three source-led field routes. Each guide connects the regional form to a practical base, current official visitor information and one nearby place that adds local context.

Route boundary: these are three separate local routes, not one timed multi-city itinerary. Check current access, opening hours, reservations and event dates on the official pages inside each guide before travelling.

ON-DEMAND 3DKeep the page light until you choose to inspect.

The three GLB studies and viewer runtime are withheld on first load. Regional descriptions, source links and static previews remain available.

3D is not loaded. No comparison GLB request is made yet.
