■Course Outline
○ Conservation and restoration of cultural properties
Cultural properties are broadly divided into calligraphy, books, old documents, and paintings. We will learn about the historical changes of each of them, as well as the materials and structures, and outline their conservation and restoration.
○ Various aspects of historical materials and their conservation and restoration
In modern times, a different type of recording medium from calligraphy and painting was born, and it supports our lives and culture. However, many of these things are made as industrial products, and new ones are invented and the previous ones disappear. These new types of materials are already becoming cultural properties that should be preserved, and I would like to think about how they should be and how they should be preserved.
■ Goals to be achieved
○ Conservation and restoration of cultural properties
Students will be able to learn about the materials and structures of calligraphy, books, old documents, and paintings, and understand the significance of preserving them and specific repair methods.
○ Various aspects and preservation of modern and contemporary materials
Students will be able to learn about the historical transition and transmission of modern and contemporary materials such as paper materials and photographs, and to understand the challenges and significance of preserving them.

■Course Outline
○ Conservation and restoration of cultural properties
Cultural properties can be broadly divided into paintings and calligraphy, texts, and ancient documents. These cultural properties do not exist on their own, but in their traditional form with bindings. The historical transition of each material and structure is traced, and the concept and technology of conservation and restoration are outlined.
○ Various aspects of historical materials and their conservation and restoration
Historical materials include a very wide range of cultural properties. In particular, since the modern era, new recording media that have never existed before have been created, and they support our lives and culture. However, many of these things are made as industrial products, and new ones are invented and the previous ones disappear. These new types of materials are already becoming cultural properties that should be preserved, and I would like to think about how they should be and how they should be preserved. This course outlines the historical transition and conservation of modern and contemporary materials, mainly paper materials and photographs.
