About Institute of Cultural Properties

Philosophy of the Institute

In order to preserve and utilize cultural properties and use them as materials for historical research, it is indispensable to integrate the humanities observation and the natural science analysis. Research using the latest analyzers is underway at this institute, and has been highly evaluated by related academic societies. In addition, we invite experts from home and abroad to conduct technical training and research exchanges. We also have accommodation facilities for Graduate School, creating an environment where students can concentrate on their research.
This institute, which was set up in Yamanashi, which has abundant nature, aims to investigate, research, and preserve cultural properties. Furthermore, we aim to promote cultural property protection activities by disclosing and utilizing these results.

History of establishment

Since its establishment, this institute has been made up of a department that investigates and researches buried cultural properties, and a cultural property science department that carries out various analyses, conservation science, and preservation treatments, and has contributed to society for many years. In April 2012, it was newly established as a research institute of Teikyo University, and is now disseminating high-level research and education on a wide range of cultural properties, including not only the investigation and research of buried cultural properties, but also the protection and utilization of cultural heritage, to the world.
In order to conduct more advanced research activities and to provide a more comfortable environment for educational activities, the Institute was established as Research Institute of Cultural Properties, Teikyo University. In order to comprehensively respond to the major challenges of research and education, the Institute will conduct domestic and international surveys and research, provide technical training for experts, and aim to make further contributions in addition to its current activities by holding classes for its instructors at Hachioji Campus and opening its facilities to Graduate School.
