Research Abstract

The research on the aging of wood was achieved under the collaboration network with the Buddhist sculptors as well as the researchers in the fields of art/architectural history, conservation science, and wood science. The research activities are summarized as follows ; 1. Wood samples from cultural properties and historical buildings were collected under the support of the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan in collaboration with the related research organizations, identified and the database on the wood quality is being established, 2. The naturally aging hinoki wood was characterized and compared with those of heat treated wood, clarifying that the aging of wood is a mild thermal oxidation process, and 3. We organized the international symposium on "Wood Culture and Science Kyoto 2011", succeeding to construct the international research network on the related fields.
