23each year, notable non-designated industrialheritage properties to be recommendedfor protection were certified. Included aresuch properties as Takashima Coal MineSite certified in 1986 and Miike Coal MineFacilities in 1994. Although they are now listedas World Heritage sites, in the 1980s and1990s, they had not yet been recognized by thelocal municipality nor the national governmentas cultural properties.

We hadalready been involved in certifying workingproperties and therefore, there were opinionsthat there was no need to develop newterminology for this genre. Many opposed theproposed terminology of “industrial heritejji.”In the following years, other symposiums wereheld when it was concluded to continue usingthe word “industrial heritage [sangyo isan]”under the condition of eventually changing itsdefinition.1962, Michael Rix advocated the new field ofindustrial archaeology and at the same timeappealed for protection of industrial artifactsand sites.
