COMPILED RECORDS OF RESTORATION ON REGISTERED SCULPTURES FROM THE FILE OF THE NIHON BIJUTSU-IN WORK-SHOP

 This is the fourth volume of the ‘Compiled Records of Restoration from the File of the Nihon Bijutsu-in Workshop’, including records of the repair-jobs of 65 sculptures located in the Nara area, registered by Japanese government as Important Cultural Properties. The Nara National Research Institute of Cultural Properties owns records of the repair-jobs which were carried out by the Nihon Bijutsu-in on more than 1,000 registered sculptures during the period of 1900-1944.

 The Nihon Bijutsu-in has long been the only organization of professional restorers in the country, activities of which have so much to do with the history of national protection of cultural properties. Records of their repair-jobs are valuable research materials on Japanese sculpture, since they consist of detailed descriptions, drawings and photographs before and after the restoration. Our Institute plans to publish those records in series so that the records could be available to scholars and students who are interested in the study of Japanese sculpture.
