He also visited Asia and the Pacific region according to the following schedule. In June, the writer attended the China-Japan-Republic of Korea Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Forum in Tianjin, China, which was hosted by the Chinese Folk Literature and Art Association. Having been appointed visiting researcher of the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo in September, he cooperated with research on the situation of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage of Asia and the Pacific conducted by the Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage by accompanying members of the Department on their investigations. He visited Vietnam in November, India in December, and Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand in February 2010 with researchers from the Department. These trips presented valuable opportunities for the author to consider the current situation and problems surrounding the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. As has been generally acknowledged, intangible cultural heritage is living cultural property that is constantly changing. Because of this, the author’s basic idea has been that problems are bound to arise in dealing with intangible cultural heritage and that those involved in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage find themselves burdened with various issues. Based on such a point of view, the current paper classifies the author’s experience during these trips into three categories: 1) details of research on safeguarding intangible cultural heritage; 2) limitations in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage; and 3) irony that surface in the process of compiling lists of intangible cultural heritage.}, pages = {27--39}, title = {無形文化遺産保護の挑戦―日本国内およびアジア太平洋諸国を訪れて―}, year = {2010} }
