ニュースで学ぶ「現代英語」 This time, let's learn about a world-famous fresco painting.
2026.4.13(3.13) “最後の審判”修復に和紙が活躍 JAPANESE WASHI PAPER USED TO RESTORE MICHELANGELO'S 'LAST JUDGMENT' 日本の和紙が使われるミケランジェロの最後の審判を修復するために
Traditional Japanese washi paper is playing a key role in restoration work on Michelangelo's painting "The Last Judgment.”
The gigantic fresco adorns the Vatican's Sistine Chapel, which is also known as the site of the Conclave, the secret meeting held to elect a new Roman Catholic pope.
The restoration project began last month. It’s the first such work on the painting in about 30 years.
Scaffolding has been set up inside the chapel and is covered by screens bearing身につけている large printed images of the artwork. Behind the screens, workers soak pieces of washi paper in water and apply them to the surface of the fresco to remove surface deposits蓄積したもの、たまった汚れ. Washi paper is soft and highly absorbent, allowing it to draw out the deposits without damaging the painting.
The chapel remains open to visitors during the work. The project is scheduled to be completed in April.

How do you handle conflict in a team?
Conflict can be productive👂if handled well. At my previous logistics company, sales wanted faster deliveries, but operations said we didn’t have the “magic trucks” to make it happen.
I brought集め both sides together and reframed the issue around. our shared共通の goal― reliable service for customers. We agreed on the priority優先順位付け system, which eased tension and improved efficiency.
