■ Background and Purpose: Translating the 'Heart' of Tradition with Technology
In Kyoto, where inbound demand is surging rapidly, there is growing attention towards 'Kodo' (incense smelling), where visitors can experience Japanese spirituality. However, Kodo is not simply about smelling a scent; as expressed by the phrase 'listening to incense (Monko)', its manners and history encapsulate delicate wording and spiritual culture unique to Japan.
To accurately convey such profound culture in foreign languages, highly advanced interpretation skills and specialized knowledge are indispensable, posing a major challenge in opening the doors of traditional culture to the world. By introducing 'CoeFont Translator' to Kodo Mishina Oeryu this time, it has become possible to instantly deliver the nuances of every single word spoken by the instructor in Japanese to participants in multiple languages.
■ Details of Support by 'CoeFont Translator'
1. Real-time Transmission of Emotion and Improvement in the Quality of Cultural Experience
We make the instructor's explanations multilingual on the spot.

By eliminating language anxiety, participants can focus on the experience itself of 'listening to incense'.
2. Support for Highly Specialized Vocabulary
AI can learn specialized terms and contexts from documents, videos, etc. As a result, it can communicate with accurate and appropriate expressions without losing the specialized expressions unique to Kodo.
