Last week, an advisory body to UNESCO (* the International Council on Monuments and Sites" (ICOMOS)" recommented "information inquiry" regarding listing of the "gold mines on Sado Island" on UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
It's the 2nd highest appreciation only following "registration." Japan is required to make an additional explanation, and needs to urgently take measures in order for "reversal" at the UNECSO WCH committee at the end of July.

* As a person in charge to cover cultural assets in Kansai Region, what's concerned along with the Sado is "imperial capitals in Asuka & Fujiwara" (Nara), which is aimed to be listed on UNESCO WCH in 2026.
It's forecasted that the council for cultural affairs of the central government will judge whether or not to recomment domestically. However, the recommendation to the Sado this time make me feel the difficulty in listing on WHC.

* During the Asuka period, Japan continueously maintained exchanges with China and the Korean Peninsula, despite facing military threats from these countries, and built the foundations of the country.
Meanwhile, Sado faces strong opposition from S. Korea over (* fake) "forced labor" during the war time.
A complex relations across the sea --.
Though the periods are different, they are both heritages that should be notified to the world.
