Recognition of the Value of Traditional Buddhist Cultureas a Cultural Heritage not yet Designated or Registeredand Its Meaning

As the preservation, management, and utilization of cultural properties are actively promoted, the number of designated and registered cultural properties continues to increase. More and more cultural properties are included in the legal protection list. In addition, in recent years, cultural properties have been recognized as a resource with utilization value, and projects to utilize cultural properties supported by the government and local governments are also being activated nationwide.However, in light of this trend, traditional Buddhist culture, which is an intangible cultural heritage, tends to be relatively unnoticed. As tangible cultural properties, Buddhist cultural properties account for 57\% of the total national treasures and treasures, but intangible cultural properties do not reach that level. Various and rich traditional Buddhist cultures, such as Yebul and Buddha, Buddhist associations, Buddhist rituals such as Buddhist rituals, Buddhist rituals such as Buddhist rituals, pagodas, anger, and Zen, are being transmitted without being designated as intangible cultural properties. It can be said that there is little interest in the meaning and value of these as a traditional culture.Conservation and utilization of products that have continued from the past as cultural properties begins with recognizing their value as cultural properties. In this paper, we examine what traditional culture is, what conditions must be met to be recognized as traditional culture, and what kinds of traditional Buddhist culture are in that respect. In addition, regardless of the designation of cultural properties, the necessity and meaning of recognizing their value as a traditional culture were studied. Recognizing that it is a traditional culture and giving meaning is the most important thing in transmitting and preserving traditional culture.
