Résumé en anglais
Budokuten was a particular building to exercisetraditional Japanese martial art and was an important symbol
of Samurai spirit in Taiwan during Japanese colonial period.Two of preserving Budokutens in southern Taiwan were
repaired. One Budokuten at Chishang is reusing for coffeeshop, the other one at Kaohsiung is reusing for martial art
exercise by a non-profit organization.The local government thinks that new Chishang
Budokuten with modern function is helpful for tourism.However, some people consider it is not appropriate for a
traditional Japanese martial art building. KaohsiungBudokuten has original activity again and seems to keep
historical spirit appropriately. Nevertheless, conservativereusing style often lack tourist attraction.
Diverse function is the specific issue for cultural heritagein Taiwan where has short history and few historical
resource. From these two examples we can discuss anappropriate way to balance the historical spirit and tourist
attraction.
