A broad range of historic buildings from temples and shrines to castles, palaces and farmhouses has been registered as important cultural properties. They are made from wood, stone, brick, concrete and diverse other materials, often with considerable variation by region and local craft tradition. Rich experience and high-level expertise is needed to conserve such structures.
