A new series from the TSUMUGU Project: Preserving Japan’s cultural treasures

The Tsumugu Project is dedicated to supporting those who endeavor to preserve Japan’s cultural treasures. As such, we will run a series of reports from various parts of the country on efforts to repair or remake damaged cultural assets and on conservation techniques that need to be passed on to the future.
