Résumé en anglais

On March 11 2011, Japan was struck by a massive earthquake which scaled M9.0, leaving behind an unprecedented aftermath in the East Japan region. It has brought a serious impact on cultural heritage as well, and in order to rescue and prevent them from further damage, national efforts along with Bunkacho (Agency for Cultural Affairs) had been made immediately after the disaster in terms of securing special budget and other special measures. As an expert organization on conservation and preservation of cultural heritage, Japan ICOMOS National Committee have been deeply involved with these damage investigations and recovery projects. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the many suggestions, supports, and words of encouragement that we have received from fellow ICOMOS members around the globe throughout this course. The conditions of this disaster and ways of recovery have already been mentioned in the overall report distributed at the 17th ICOMOS General Assembly that took place in Paris, November that year. Over these past three years we have seen remarkable progress in the recovery projects of cultural heritage, as well as those of the general infrastructures such as roads and houses. However, considerable number of cultural heritage had been lost by the disaster, and many recovery projects have been delayed due to certain circumstances. Thus, we have taken this opportunity to prepare a progress report on the current situation of disaster recovery of cultural heritage, and distribute it at the 18th ICOMOS General Assembly in Florence. We will be more than welcome to receive any comments and suggestions on this report. [Foreword by Yukio Nishimura, president of the Japan ICOMOS National Committee]
