The Aim and Role of this ResearchDaijiro KitagawaHead of Modern Cultural Heritage SectionCenter for Conservation ScienceTokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties1. Background and Significance of this ResearchWith advancements in international cooperative projectsregarding brick masonry artifacts, as well as increasedinterests within Japan in the protection of properties fromthe Modernization period, the Tokyo National ResearchInstitute for Cultural Properties has been involved inresearch projects focusing on brick and numerous reports oftheir outcomes have been published (chart 1).In January 1999, a study seminar titled“Preservationand Restoration of Brick Masonry Cultural Properties”was held at the institute. Here, a broad range of topicswere dealt with such as the history of brick production, anaccount of and issues in preservation and restoration ofbrick cultural property structures, or brick deterioration andcases of reinforcement as seen in archeological remains inforeign countries, particularly in Asia. In January 2004, theConference on International Cooperation on Conservation(国際文化財保存修復研究会) with a focus on“Preservationof Sun-Dried Brick”was held. Reports were given anddiscussions were held with a focus on preservation ofremains of structures employing sun-dried brick, includingtopics on the present state of international cooperation,construction methods used in remains of the Middle East,and characteristics of the material. Also in 2004 as a partof the series of“Research on Conservation and Restorationof Modern Cultural Heritage Properties,”cultural heritagefrom Japan’s Modernization period including bridgesincorporating brick masonry structures, tunnels, andbatteries became the subject of the two seminars titled“preservation and restoration of large-scale structures,”in which many case studies from Japan and abroad wereintroduced. These three past research projects enabledthe dissemination of knowledge and information amongspecialists in the different fields on the present statusand related issues. Additionally, a common foundationfor discussions to a certain level was established onpreservation of brick masonry structures among specialistsand practitioners.On the other hand, in the two reports titled“Studies onMaterial Characteristics with Damaging Effects on Stoneand Brick Masonry Structures”and“A Report on Studiesregarding Preventive Measures for Brick Deteriorationauthor or editor title yearTokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties東京国立文化財研究所（編）Takeshi Ishizaki (principal researcher)石崎武志（研究代表者）Japan Center for International Cooperation inConservation, National Research Institute for CulturalProperties, Tokyo東京文化財研究所国際文化財保存修復協力センター（編）National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo東京文化財研究所（編）Japan Center for International Cooperation inConservation, National Research Institute for CulturalProperties, Tokyo東京文化財研究所国際文化財保存修復協力センター（編）Preservation and Restoration of Brick Masonry CulturalPropertiesレンガ造文化財の保存修復Studies on Material Characteristics with Damaging Effects onStone and Brick Masonry Structures石造、レンガ建造物の劣化に関わる材料物性の研究Preservation of Sun-Dried Brick Structures日干し煉瓦の保存Human Technologies to be Passed Down to the Future 5,Conservation of Large Scale Structures未来につなぐ人類の技5大型構造物の保存と修復A Report on Studies regarding Preventive Measures for BrickDeterioration for Preservation of Cultural Properties文化財の保存を目的としたレンガの劣化現象と保存対策に関する調査・研究成果報告書20002001200520062006chart 1Reports on bricks published by Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties6Chapter 1The Aim and Role of this Research
