Hokkaido Heritage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hokkaidō Heritage)

Hokkaidō Heritage (北海道遺産, Hokkaidō isan) is an initiative aimed at the valorization and transmission to the next generation of the tangible and intangible natural, cultural, historical, and industrial heritage of Hokkaidō, Japan. It is advanced by the Hokkaidō Heritage Council (北海道遺産協議会), an NPO, and endorsed by the prefectural government, amongst other bodies. Seventy-four assets have been identified to date in four sessions, the first twenty-five on 22 October 2001, a further twenty-seven on 22 October 2004, fifteen more on 1 November 2018, and, most recently, an additional six (together with the split of "The Ubagami Daijingū Festival and Esashi Oiwake" into two separate assets) on 13 October 2022.[1] The scheme does not include a formal system for management or preservation but is intended to be a citizen-led movement with the concomitant benefits of promoting tourism, fostering pride and a sense of belonging in local communities, developing human capital and potential, and the revitalization of local economies.[2][3][4]
