Intangible Heritage Forum: Sustainability of intangible cultural heritage

*The Continuity of Intangible Cultural Heritage* is a book that examines the continuity of intangible cultural heritage. It reaffirms that intangible cultural heritage is a living, breathing culture, implying the importance of the dialectical interplay between the past and the present. Intangible cultural heritage is a new cultural domain that emerged in earnest with the establishment of the UNESCO Convention in 2003. Within the cultural domain, it is distinguished from the conventionally used terms of traditional culture and folk culture in that it is related to tradition yet represents the culture of the present. In particular, it emphasizes that, having been passed down from the past, it serves as the foundation of the identity of the inheritors.
