The List of National Treasures of Japan (crafts-others) contains all the items of crafts (工芸品 kōgeihin ) which are not swords and that have been designated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the government of Japan as National Treasures. Swords in the crafts category which are National Treasures of Japan can be found in List of National Treasures of Japan (crafts-swords). The list is limited to New National Treasures, those that have been designated since June 9, 1951 after the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties came into force.
There are currently 130 entries in the list covering the time from Classical to early modern Japan from 7th century Asuka period to 18th century Edo period. However, the total number of items is much higher since groups of related objects have been joined in single entries.
The listed objects are of various type and include household goods, objects related to Buddhism, armour and harnesses. Some of the oldest objects had been imported from China at the time. A number of different materials have been used for the listed articles ranging from wood over clay to bronze. In many cases the articles were decorated using a variety of techniques like gilding of precious metals, line engraving, maki-e, mother of pearl inlay or lacquer. The objects in this list are located in Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines or museums.[1][2]
Lists of other National Treasures of Japan can be found in List of National Treasures of Japan.
