Our project combines AI with citizen science to examine whether Japanese early-modern print (ukiyo-e) illustrators created landscape prints from direct observation or secondary sources. Using fine-tuned vision language models, GIS mapping, and crowdsourced spatial analysis, we authenticate artistic observation practices using historical and contemporary geographical data.

This project uses NER and digital mapping to preserve and explore the cultural heritage of the Baltic Germans.
