Oyu Stone Circle Sundial by CoreyNoxon on Sketchfab
Last fall I had the opportunity to travel to Tohoku and participate in a “stone circles” project examining Jomon period stone circle sites and seeing how they compared to other stone circle sites like Stonehenge. As part of the site tour we were able to enter the inner section of the site, which provided me the opportunity to snap a bunch of pictures to make this model. This is a standing stone sundial feature of the Oyu Stone Circle site in Akita, Japan. The Oyu site dates to the Late Jomon period (apx 4,000 – 3,500 BP) and is one of several Jomon period sites in the Tohoku and Hokkaido regions being considered for UNESCO World Heritage designation. This model created from 74 images using Meshroom and Blender. More information on the Oyo Stone Circle site can be found here. https://jomon-japan.jp/en/jomon-sites/oyu/
Bronze Jomon Dogu Statue by CoreyNoxon on Sketchfab
This bronze statue of a Jomon period dogu figurine is part of a public arts project that includes several other dogu figurines displayed in the shopping district of downtown Aomori city, Japan. Dogu are clay figurines that were made during the Jomon period in Japan (16,000-2,500 yrs ago). There were three different dogu statues that were repeated going along the street. This was the first one I photographed, and I think it came out the best. The geometry was pretty simple to capture and overall I’m pretty proud of the results! This model was created from 75 photographs taken on a Galaxy Note 8 using Meshroom, Instant Meshes, and Blender.

This is the second dogu bronze statue of the public arts project in the shopping district of downtown Aomori city, Japan. The original figurine is quite large (apx 32cm tall) and dates to the Middle Jomon period (apx 4,500 years ago). The original clay figurine is usually displayed at the Sannai-Maruyama Jomon Cultural Center in Aomori. This model was created from 123 photographs taken on a Galaxy Note 8 using Meshroom, Instant Meshes, and Blender.
