SOURCE-GUIDED 3D TOUR
Turn the model to a documented cue.
Choose one published-source claim. The suggested angle helps you inspect it; it does not turn the reconstruction into proof.
CLAIM 01 · OBLIQUE
The triangle is the identity
Agano City names the triangular form and colour as defining features, making the profile visible even before the face is read.
Why this angle: Read silhouette, depth and front treatment in one controlled view.
Camera angles are viewing suggestions, not object measurements, authenticity findings or claims that every maker uses one fixed form. The JSON manifest publishes the exact GLB hash, technical audit, claim links and rights boundary; access does not grant reuse rights.
3D is not loaded. The evidence and static preview are ready.
Static preview · load 3D for rotation, side and back views
Load the model, then drag to rotate or use the fixed angle buttons. This PBR model uses shared lighting, scale and a controlled four-view reconstruction so regional silhouettes can be compared fairly. It is an AI-assisted interpretive model, not a scan or an artisan-authenticated digital twin. Exact workshop brushwork and protected patterns are not reproduced.

Published-source claim
Agano City names the triangular form and colour as defining features, making the profile visible even before the face is read.
The pointed body belongs to the wider self-righting daruma family, although this lightweight Web object does not claim to reproduce its physical balance.
Agano association, triangular body, pointed crown and humorous expression.

The exact taper, painted face and shared Web material.

A continuing maker's unique face, historical inscriptions and production measurements.
VERIFICATION STATUS
What has this file actually passed?
Its three published observations are mapped to named sources. The regional institution and maker have not reviewed this Atlas file, and the 3D remains an interpretive reconstruction.
