Summary:We have demonstrated a special plan exhibition for appreciation of Japanese antique ink painting of “The trip to Sesshu”, which used the novel warm white light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system having the average color rendering index (Ra) = 96 and special color rendering indices R9 (95) and R15 (98). A viewer is seen with an original hue and can feel a delicate three-dimensional impression. Comparing with a conventional triple A fluorescent lamp system, the developed white LED system can provide the superior illuminance properties and extremely low electric power consumption.
