Profile

[Japan Art Succession Association]
The Japan Art Inheritance Association was established for the purpose of correctly passing down Japanese art works to future generations.
Art works have been handed down as valuable cultural assets that tell us about history and culture.
However, due to the rapidly changing social situation and the diversification of living environments, it is becoming difficult to hand down art works in the past. In addition, due to globalization, there are many opportunities to see various works of art, and recognition of Japanese art is declining.
Against this backdrop, we are working to properly hand down Japanese art to the next generation as an important culture that Japan is proud of, and are striving to popularize and educate the public.
