本日、日本が「ユネスコ無形文化遺産」に提案している「書道」について、ユネスコの「評価機関」から、「無形文化遺産の代表一覧表」に記載することがふさわしいとの勧告を受けたことが、ユネスコから公表されました。
日本の大切な文化である「書道」が、未来に受け継がれるべき「ユネスコ無形文化遺産」にふさわしいと評価されたことを大変嬉しく思います。
「書道」の継承と発展に御尽力いただいている関係者の皆様に、心より敬意を表します。
「書道」は、筆、墨、硯、紙などを用いて、伝統的な筆遣いや技法により、文字を表現する日本の貴重な文化です。
手書きの文字に自らの思いや感情を込めて、表現する営みとして、日本人の生活の中で長きにわたり受け継がれてきました。
また、「書」で残された文字は世代を超えて知識や価値観、文化的記憶を継承する重要な役割を果たしており、日本文化の理解を深めることにもつながっています。
「ユネスコ無形文化遺産」としての最終的な結論は、12月に開催される「ユネスコ無形文化遺産保護条約政府間委員会」において、決定される予定であり、政府としても正式な記載決定に向けて努力してまいります。
今後も、我が国の長い歴史の中で培われた伝統を大切にし、貴重な文化を適切に保存・活用し、次代へ継承してまいります。

A meeting ends. A different kind of dialogue begins outside. 🌿 At UNESCO headquarters in Paris, specialists from Japan helped restore Isamu Noguchi’s Garden of Peace in 2025. Cultural diplomacy also means caring for shared spaces where people connect across cultures. 🤝

Human dignity must remain at the heart of our digital future.
During his address at @UNESCO, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, calling for technology to remain at the service of people and for greater protection of children and young people in the digital age.
While artificial intelligence can process and correlate vast amounts of information, it cannot provide meaning or trust. In the words of @Pontifex , “Meaning is the oxygen of the mind.”
His message ultimately went beyond technology: trust, dialogue and education are essential to overcoming divisions, strengthening our common humanity and building lasting peace.
▶️ Watch highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s address at UNESCO.
Greatest honour to welcome His Holiness #PopeLeoXIV @Pontifex to UNESCO in Paris. His presence and words are great encouragement to the Organization in conducting its mission of constructing the defences of peace in the minds of people. #UNESCO #ForThePeople.
On the occasion of the visit, #UNESCO presented to #PopeLeoXIV, the book containing Member States’ messages of peace. I reaffirmed Japan’s commitment to support to the mission of the Organization, referring to 🇯🇵proverb 以和為貴(“Peace and harmony above all”)
