Traditional Japanese paper conservation techniques have been known in Europe since the 1960s. Currently Japanese materials and tools are in use by conservators worldwide. Despite this broad acceptance uncertainties remain regarding their correct use and the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods. Questions which may arise during conservation projects are not always answered from consulting the literature. Furthermore, language barriers between Asian and European colleagues can often complicate communication. Therefore, there is a strong interest among European paper conservators in training under the supervision of a Japanese paper conservation master. Kazunori Oryu, Researcher at the Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties (1992-1997) and former professor of paper conservation at the Kyoto University of Art and Design (2000-2006) will be holding a training course in traditional Japanese techniques thanks to the initiative of the Institute of Book and Manuscript Conservation of the Bavarian State Library in Munich. Mr. Oryu has held training courses in Japan as well as in France, Canada and the USA. He is credited with encouraging communication between the circle of the Japanese Hyogu masters and Western conservators. The training course will convey basic knowledge about traditional materials, types of adhesives and tools, as well as lining techniques and associated risks using a Karibari (Hyogu). Ample time will be allowed for discussion. The goal is to provide a better understanding of Japanese materials and techniques and to integrate them better into the European conservation practice. The course will be a meeting point for far Eastern and Western cultures in paper conservation. The Program outline is as follows: 1. Introduction to Japanese materials, adhesives and tools; 2. Lining techniques with a Karibari (Hyogu); 3. Special features of Japanese paper conservation techniques; 4. Integration of Japanese techniques into the European conservation practice.
