This research revealed the procedure of the Japanese modern sculptor Tsuruzo ISHII's woodwork masterpieces "Shimazaki Toson" (Toson-zo (1), Toson-zo (2)) which unexpectedly resylted in two statues.This was done by recreating the creation process of the works based on 3D sharp data of remaining wood pieces in the course of "Kidori".The 3D data originates from scanning data of the statues and remaining wood pieces were served in the recreation of "Kihonkei" ("The Base") and "Shinbo" ("The Armature").Those are regarded as the important structures at the beginnig of creation.The meaning and the functions of the structures were identified by analyzing visualized 3D data.Furthermore, it can be deduced that the structural concepts of ISHII's procedure have the concept of "movement" as the essence of modern art, which coincides with the modern art principles of "Cubism".To obtain the final results, which are based on 3D scanning data of two "Toson-zo" statues and all the wood pieces, three 3D animation systems of the construction procedure have been completed.
