The work of “cultural assets repair” Mayumi Yamamoto(Buddhist painter,Cultural-property servicing techie )
I work in the company which carries out cultural assets repair. The building of shrine or temple may be colored and the pattern may be drawn. We restore the coloring part of such a cultural-assets building. We carry out archive treatment, investigation, and restoration.
Our Work is mainly carried out on site. A type of business is “construction industry”. The work united with demolition repair of the building serves as a subcontract of construction industry corporation.
The organizations have engaged in this work is registered into the intangible cultural asset inheritance “work of traditional architecture artisan” in Unesco since 2020.

The author who works on site
I will present the description of work.
Archive repair of coloring repastes up first what is in the status that it is likely to fall one by one.
When reapplying is carried out again and again in the past or exfoliation is remarkable and the beautiful sight is spoiled, we may restore with approval. We investigate the present coloring, when restoring.
We conduct the science analyzation of pigmentary and specify the pigmentary type. We are painting with the same material and process as old coloring, and the technique.
I am glad that you understand coloring and paintings are one of the highlights for the shrine or the temple.
