A Study on the Protection Measures for Craft Techniques as Seen from the Katsuma NAKAMURA Archive in the Geidai Archives Center of Modern Art (1)
Full text linkThis article focuses on materials related to Katsuma NAKAMURA that are held in GACMA, or the Geidai Archives Center of Modern Art (Materials | Geidai Archives Center of Modern Art). Nakamura played an important role not only as a Yuzen artist but also as a leader of craftsmen during World War II. After the war, he was certified as an important intangible cultural property holder and was active until his later years. He was a remarkable craftsman who worked hard to create a framework for the protection of craft techniques from his standpoint as a Yuzen artist from the 1940s to 1970s.
The above-mentioned materials related to Nakamura include the following.
・Materials related to the Enterprise Development Ordinance（企業整備令）
・Materials regarding exemptions to the Regulations for Restriction on Manufacturing and Sales of
Luxury Goods, etc.（奢侈品等製造販売制限規則）
・Materials related to Japan Arts and Crafts Control Association（日本美術及工芸統制協会）
・Materials related to the Cultural Properties Protection Committee and Important Intangible
Cultural Properties（文化財保護委員会・重要無形文化財）
・Materials related to Japan Kogei Association
・Materials related to Yuzen dyeing
We wish to clarify the relationships between engineers and public controls such as the government, prefectures, and GHQ, and factors that affected the current system for protecting intangible cultural properties.departmental bulletin pape

Investigation Report on Techniques for Preserving Cultural Properties with a Focus on Musical Instruments 7
Full text linkThe Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage recognizes the manufacture of musical instruments and techniques for their repair, the manufacture of tools necessary for the production of the instruments and techniques for their repair, and the manufacture of materials necessary for the above as important restoration techniques for supporting Japan’s traditional performing arts, and an investigation on these techniques has been ongoing since 2017. This report is a follow-up to the “Investigation Report on Techniques for Preserving Cultural Properties with a Focus on Musical Instruments 6” and outlines seven cases of investigations conducted from August to December 2023.
Pursuant to the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties, Japan has a system for selecting preservation techniques and identifying holders and holding groups of these techniques. However, the said investigation focuses on holders and holding groups considered important regardless of their selection or recognition status. For each instrument, the investigation is conducted according to the following seven items, in this order: 1. Name of the holder of the technique, 2. Date of birth of the holder, 3. Address or place of investigation, 4. Date of investigation, 5. Investigator, 6. Overview
of the holder, and 7. Observations of the investigator.
On May 8, 2023, COVID-19 was reclassified from the category for new types of influenza and other infectious diseases (Category 2) to Category 5 of infectious diseases, and support measures that were implemented against COVID-19 were accordingly discontinued. However, it cannot be said that techniques for preserving cultural properties have returned to the state they were in before COVID-19, or that the dissemination of new techniques for the “with COVID-19 era” is progressing. Going forward, we will continue to closely monitor the trends in techniques for preserving cultural properties in conjunction with the restoration of traditional performing arts supported by musical instruments.departmental bulletin pape
A Study on the Glue Described in Early Modern Textile Technique Books: Toward an Understanding of the Significance of Raw Materials in the Context of Safeguarding Textile Techniques
Full text linkIn this paper, we focus on the glue among dyeing and weaving materials and aim to organize the information about the glue described in early modern textile technique books.
The results of this study will be used as basic data for examining how the textile techniques to be investigated in the future have inherited the techniques of the early modern period.
Particular attention will be paid to what aspects of early modern textile techniques have been inherited, and whether or not techniques for processing raw materials have been inherited, by present-day techniques.
The reason is that these are important issues when considering the safeguarding of textile techniques.
In the future, we hope to continue our research on the significance of raw materials in the context of safeguarding textile techniques by using the materials introduced in this paper.departmental bulletin pape
