| Summary: | In Japan, since the revision of the law for the protection of cultural properties in 2004, cultural landscapes have been included in the list of protected properties. However, the meaning of cultural landscape had to be adapted to the system of protection policies already existing in the country and to include one of the sub-categories of cultural landscapes as defined by Unesco: “the living landscape”, i.e., “one which retains an active social role in contemporary society strongly associated with the traditional way of life and which continues to evolve”. The notion of “living landscape” has therefore served as a basis for reflection and for devising the protection system that has been put in place during the last fifteen years. This article seeks to show how this system differs from the Unesco system. It also seeks to understand what the notion of cultural landscape encompasses and to show how this recently enacted protection policy has had to devise a method for the implementation of appropriate actions in a short time; a process in which the National Research Institute for Cultural Heritage in Nara played an important role. The case of the preservation of the Uji tea landscapes is taken as an example. |
