Outline of Final Research Achievements

As has already been reported, cultural activities are utilized in various forms for the revitalization of local communities, as “cultural resources” and important elements linked to the rejuvenation of cities (“machi zukuri,” or town development), which are targeted by public policies based on a recognition that cultural aspects are essential for local development.
On the other hand, folk cultural properties, which are deeply rooted in the lifestyles of local communities, are at risk of being lost. It is feared that the loss of folk cultural properties could lead to the disappearance of regional identity. In view of these circumstances, I conducted a study to ascertain the actual conditions of the collection and preservation of the registered tangible folk cultural properties. 70 items, cultural properties related to production, such as agriculture and industry, accounted for the largest proportion (74%), followed by those used in daily life related to food, clothing and shelter.
