This research examines what kind of support the government and organizations are providing for the lack of successors of intangible cultural assets in the performing arts field, and examines whether sufficient support is being provided to preserve intangible cultural assets for the next generation. In Japan, the Law for the Protection of Cul-tural Properties and the Basic Law for Culture and the Arts have been enacted, and in the world, the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage has been concluded. Each law and convention specifies policies and support for cultural properties. The Agency for Cultural Affairs formulates the Basic Plan for the Pro-motion of Culture and the Arts following the Basic Law for Culture and the Arts. It implements the promotion of culture and the arts based on this plan. As an example of the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural assets, the Japan Arts Council is imple-menting a project to foster the succession of traditional performing arts and is working to foster and secure succes-sors of performers of Kabuki, Bunraku, Noh, and other traditional performing arts. The council operates the National Theatre of Japan, which was established to present traditional performing arts to the public. However the theatre is currently temporarily closed for redevelopment, and as no redevelopment project has been initiated, it is uncertain when it can be reopened. In 2012, the City of Osaka reduced subsidies to the Bunraku Association, followed by a shift to an incentive system the following year, and then in 2015, subsequent subsidies were funded by donations from citizens. This research examines whether sufficient support is being provided to preserve intangible cultural assets. Although sufficient legislation has been implemented, some points were found to be insufficient, such as the closing of the National Theatre of Japan and the issue of subsidies to the Bunraku Association.03 ■■■■04
