International Course on Conservation of Japanese Paper 

Dates: 25 August - 12 September 2014

Place: Tokyo, Japan

Organization

• National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo
• ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property)

The course Many collections all over the world house Japanese paintings, calligraphic works and other paper–based artifacts. The purpose of this course is to offer those caring for such collections outside of Japan an insight into the materials and techniques of the Japanese paper-mounting tradition, and to the principles guiding the care of such collections in Japan. Through improving their understanding of the basic characteristics of the Japanese paper tradition, the participants will be in a better position to make decisions concerning the care of Japanese artifacts in their collections. The course aims also at offering opportunities to build bridges between the Japanese and the Western paper conservation traditions and to assess the applicability of the Japanese approach, materials & techniques also to non-Japanese cultural heritage.

Methodology The course is an intensive programme combining theory and practice, through lectures, practical workshops in Tokyo and a study tour in Mino and Kyoto to visit traditional paper-making masters and mounting studios.

Participants
The course is open to 10 conservators-restorers, curators, keepers, and other professionals actively involved in the preservation of and access to cultural heritage. At least three years of working experience is required. Preference will be given to candidates also involved in training activities or who are heads of conservation teams.

Lecturers
Art historians, conservation scientists, traditional paper-mounting and conservation specialists from leading institutions in Japan.

Course fee900 Euro
