ABSTRACT

This paper presents the major analyses carried out on shape and form’s characteristic database from Japanese and Vietnamese traditional daily products (TDPs). The aim of the research is to recognize the vital specifications representing for a national style by comparing two different countries together. By using Quantification Theory Type III and Cluster analysis, firstly, the analyses were undergone separately for Japanese and then Vietnamese product data in succession so that a view of general direction for each country was caught. The result showing a difference in scale of “Complexity” and “Specification” axis between Japan and Vietnam leads to performance of the analysis done on combine database of the two countries to get a clearer view of correlation between them. However, the biggest difference between the two countries lies in “Form” (Geometric—Organic) axis. Continuously, for studying more deeply into outline of product shape, the main ratios that affect the appearance or gorgeousness of product’s outline were taken into account and analyzed. By comparing this result to the previous ones, finally a wider and more detail perspective of Japan and Vietnam shape’s specification in a mutual relationship was discovered.
