Yoshinobu Nayatani: 1927-2009

Dr. Yoshinobu Nayatani passed away at a hospital in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, on 29 May 2009. He was a great color scientist and a diligent contributor to the color research community. He has been well-known as a recipient of the AIC Judd Award and as a prolific author and a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Color Research and Application. His last article in this journal appeared in April 2009.

 

Nayatani received the AIC Judd Award in 1993, during the 7th Congress of the International Color Association, in recognition of his work on colorimetry and color vision, including many contributions to models of chromatic adaptation and color appearance. He has studied the assessment of sources simulating the CIE daylight illuminants, worked on the assessment of observer metamerism, and on the prediction of color appearance.

 

He was Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Engineering at Osaka Electro-Communications University, Japan, and served as president of the Color Science Association of Japan from 1984 to 1986. In 1998 he received the Color Science Association of Japan Prize, and in 2003 Suga Foundation for Promoting Weathering Technology gave him their Special Testimonial for Color Technology. He was an honorary member of the Argentine Color Group.

 

He will be missed by all the color science community.
