You can view the IIIF Collection that aggregates the IIIF manifests gathered by Cultural Japan at the following link:
Please check the terms of use for each source database when using the individual IIIF manifests.
This collection includes IIIF manifests dynamically generated by Cultural Japan. In the collection list above, these can be identified by the label “Dynamically Generated.” The dynamic generation uses AWS Lambda, querying the Japan Search RDF Store and the Cultural Japan RDF Store for each request to generate JSON data. The condition for creating these dynamically generated IIIF manifests is that the items must have high-resolution images (jps:accessInfo/schema:associatedMedia).
In the case of dynamically generated manifests, they may be incomplete in that they do not necessarily include all images from the source item (only images specified by jps:accessInfo/schema:associatedMedia are used). However, there are advantages such as being able to load them in Self Museum and other IIIF-compatible viewers.
We hope this provides an overview of IIIF resources related to Japanese culture being shared worldwide, and serves as useful material for application development using IIIF.
