Abstract (in English)

While Japan is a place where vast and diverse cultural heritage has been cultivated through a long history, it is also a country prone to natural disasters. There is a growing social interest in protecting cultural heritage from natural disasters, and in recent years not only major earthquakes, but also large-scale typhoons and local torrential rainfalls have caused major wind and flood damage to cultural heritage, as has often been reported in the media. Under these socially relevant circumstances, ICOMOS Japan published preliminary reports in English and Japanese on the damage, recovery, and subsequent progress of cultural heritage affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016. Now, 12 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake and 7 years after the Kumamoto Earthquake, the disaster recovery of cultural heritage is wrapping up, with some exceptions. This is the final report on the earthquake damage and subsequent recovery of this cultural heritage. From an international point of view, in the 1980s, many seismic studies on historic buildings were being conducted in Western Europe, and international conferences on the structural field were held every other year. However, in Japan the catalyst was the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, which struck the metropolis, damaging many designated and undesignated cultural property buildings. This tragic event triggered many researchers and practitioners to develop seismic studies and seismic resistance measures for cultural heritage. Currently, these studies are progressing while countermeasures are being developed. Seismic resistance measures for cultural heritage have been widely discussed at various levels, from national and local governments to researchers and practitioners of seismic design and construction. Pre-disaster measures started with the establishment of seismic resistance assessment guidelines and the creation of a system called the heritage manager system, intended to expand the number of people involved with historic buildings. Post-disaster measures included the establishment of the Cultural Property Doctor Dispatch Program, which was created to help assess damage conditions and provide technical support for recovery. Additionally, various reconstruction and rehabilitation subsidy systems were established. These measures have helped lead the way internationally in disaster management. Under these circumstances, we experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake, and subsequently the Kumamoto Earthquake. A quarter of a century after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, we would like to review how the developed earthquake disaster management measures for cultural properties were used in preparation and response to these earthquakes while identifying remaining issues. In addition, we will introduce the results of the rapid development of earthquake-resistant technology for cultural property build-ings in Japan. [From the preface by Toshikazu Hanazato]
