55Notes1. Tsutomu Kimura, head researcher “Reviewing the Restoration of Modern Western-style Architecture in Japan A Study on Principlesand Methodology in Restoration Techniques” funded by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) in fiscal year 2013 to 2015.2. From “architectural restoration archives” at the website of The Japanese Association for Conservation of Architectural Monuments, anon-profit foundation. (URL http://www.bunkenkyo.or.jp/archive-site/)3. Starting in fiscal year 1977, comprehensive surveys on temple and shrine structures from the early modern era were executedsuccessively by each prefecture under funding from the national Agency for Cultural Affairs. Religious structures from this era basedon survey results became the focus of designation as Important Cultural Properties from around 1975 to the early 2000s. (Agencyfor Cultural Affairs “A Fifty Year History of the Act on Protection of Cultural Properties [ 文化財保護法五十年史] ” Gyosei,2001. p146.)4. The restoration in 1963 of Senpu-kan (Osaka City) marked the first of modern Western-style architecture and was followed bythat of Former Kaichi School (Nagano City). Refer to Tsutomu Kimura “Reviewing the Restoration of Modern Western-styleArchitecture in Japan ? A Study on Principles and Methodology in Restoration Techniques ? [ 近代洋風建築修復の検証- 修復技術の理念と手法の研究-] ” in Nagaoka Institute of Design (NID) Bulletin vol. 12, chart 01 Period of restoration of modernWestern-style architecture, p117.5. Restoration of Former Glover House was begun in 1967. This was followed by Former Niigata Customs House, Former NakagomeSchool, and Former Ringer House. After the mid 1970s, the number of modern Western-style architecture restorations increasedgreatly. Refer to the paper mentioned in footnote 4.6. Data from documents for the annual meeting of those involved in preservation projects of Important Property structures (Agencyfor Cultural Affairs, 2004. p70.)7. One document which acts as a manual for restoration of Important Cultural Property structures is “Document regardingRestoration of Important Cultural Property Structures [ 文化財建造物修理関係資料]” of which a revised edition was publishedin 1964 by the National Commission for the Protection of Cultural Properties, predecessor of the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Inthis document, formats for design documents are presented together with specific principles to be used as a model. Such detaileddocuments have not been published since then and this documents continues to be referred to for creating design documents to thisday. In those following “format 10,” design document formats for specifications of national government-funded restoration projectsare given. For example, regarding specifications for carpentry, it says to “reuse as much as possible of the original building membersunder the condition that it would not deter future preservation.” Similar expressions can be seen in each of the different constructioncategories. This principle that determines the topmost basic idea for preservation of cultural properties has been inherited and thesame wording can be seen in documents for restoration projects today.8. Refer to chart 02 Development of Survey Methods for Paint Layers (p119) in Tsutomu Kimura “Reviewing the Restoration ofModern Western-style Architecture in Japan ? A Study on Principles and Methodology in Restoration Techniques” in NID Bulletinvol. 12.In the early days, historic paint colors were determined by visual observation and analysis of paint layers by rubbing finished surfaceswith sandpaper. In the mid 1960s, through the restoration of Former Saiseikan Hospital, scientific analysis of the paint layers wasundertaken for the first time. At this time, only all paint layers together could be analyzed, but eventually composition (elementscontained) of each paint layer could be specified. Through studies on historic paint specifications and manuals as well as paintingtechniques, these historic paint layers came to be acknowledged as valuable architectural resources.9. From the Agency for Cultural Affairs, the following guidelines have been publicized: “Guidelines for Ensuring Safety of CulturalProperties (Buildings) During Earthquakes” (1996), Guidelines for Assessing Seismic Resistance of Important Cultural Properties(Buildings) (1999, revised in 2012), “Implementation Guidelines for Preliminary Seismic Assessment of Important CulturalProperties (Buildings)” (1996, revised in 2012), and “Implementation Guidance for Basic Seismic Assessment of Important CulturalProperties (Buildings)” (2001, revised in 2012). Seismic analysis of cultural properties were executed following these guidelines andreinforced accordingly. English translations can be downloaded from the website of Agency for Cultural Affairs (As of July 2017)http://www.bunka.go.jp/seisaku/bunkazai/hogofukyu/taishin_shishin.html10. Refer to the chart in NID Bulletin vol. 12, as in footnote 4. Exemplary Important Cultural Properties are Senpukan, former HassamResidence, Former Kaichi School, Jinpukaku Residence, and Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward.11. The Agency for Cultural Affairs (ACA) requires the involvement of “chief conservators” approved by ACA as a requirement forobtaining their funding for restoration. This is stated in ‘An Outline for Granting Subsidy to Cultural Property Preservation Projectsand Related Work on Cultural Property Preservation Facilities [ 文化財保存事業費及び文化財保存施設整備費関係補助金交付要綱]’ arbitrated by the Director General of Agency for Cultural Affairs, dated May 1, 1979.
