Outline of Final Research Achievements

"Cultural Heritage", which originates from cultural and academic studies in the Western World, consists of visible and invisible cultural properties created by human activities. Regarding "Cultural Heritage", properties are variously classified depending on their form. On the other hand, "Religious Heritage Studies ",at which this research aims, is based on a conviction that it is ideological human action that became the motivation to create various heritages related to religion. This study tries to grasp various kinds of heritage by emphasizing religious thought connected with cultural properties. We clarified the effectiveness of the concept of "religious heritage" and established directions for our future research through specific case sutudies in Japan and East Asia.
