Abstract This synthetic dataset comprises computer vision training data designed for multi-task learning applications including object detection, semantic segmentation, and depth estimation. The dataset features scenarios involving water-based environments with emphasis on dynamic human interactions, specifically entrance and exit sequences in aquatic settings captured from boat-mounted perspectives. Generated using synthetic data generation techniques, it provides pixel-perfect ground truth annotations across multiple vision tasks, enabling robust model training without privacy concerns or real-world data collection constraints. The dataset is intended for researchers developing AI systems for marine surveillance, autonomous watercraft navigation, and emotion-aware computer vision applications in challenging water-reflected lighting conditions. Abstract The Japanese concept of "ma間" intrigues fashion designers' imagination of the space between textile and skin. Exploring Art, Knowledge and Movement in Japanese Fashion tells a philosophical story of the Greek poiein, avant-garde Japanese fashion designers, the Paris high fashion scene, and Chinese classics from early modern to contemporary times. It traverses the terrain of history of art, performance studies, religion, and the eighteenth-century literary masterpiece The Dream of Red Chamber (Hongloumeng 紅樓夢, Story of the Stone 石頭記).

During the four hundred years since it appeared, Chin P’ing Mei has been known in China as an “obscene book.” Governments have banned it and parents have hidden it from children. One widespread anecdo...

Abstract This latest volume, SINO-JAPANESE LITERATURE IN PERSPECTIVE: A Short Communication to the World Literature (Eliva Press, 2026) tested the geographical boundaries of literary encounters. It is...

ABSTRACT What is art? What is history? What is knowledge? What is scholarship? Following the discussion between art and craft, I reflect on the use of textile with scholarship from Julia Bryan-Wilson ...
