Packaging plays a vital role in Secure transportation and packaging design for the protection of cultural propertyTOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM Hiroshi WadaThe following is a chronological over-view of Mr. Wada’s research on the safe transportation and packaging de-sign of museum cultural artifacts.straints for packaging boxes led to the introduction of the first-ever wire rope vibration damping mechanism in pack-aging design.- 2006: An accident that occurred in Montreal, Canada, in which a haniwa (clay figurine) was broken during the return of exhibited items, was investi-gated and clarified using acceleration data loggers to determine the risks involved in airport loading / unloading operations.- 2009: For the transportation of the statue of Ashura at Kofukuji temple in Nara, we designed the packaging with wire rope vibration isolators and veri-fied the characteristics.- 2010: We realized aluminum frame packing for long-distance transporta-tion of the halo of Amoghapasa Kan-non from Todaiji Temple in Nara, Ja-pan.- 2018 onwards: Research on vibra-tion during transportation was initiat-ed, working on the vibration response characteristics of packaging materials such as PE foam and cotton.2016 and 2021: We presented a case study on the transportation of murals and collected data on the transportation of murals.- 2019 and beyond: The vibration characteristics of cultural assets have been elucidated using simulation tech-nology to achieve advanced packaging design.- After 2023: Wada has initiated research to realize Museum DX by utilizing digitized cultural prop/erties and linking transportation environment data with cultural properties to pro-mote effective use of cultural proper-ties.Wada’s research is an important initiative for the safe transportation and preservation of cultural properties.Source: Material from the 32nd Annual Conference of the Japan Packaging InstituteWire rope vibration isolator used for extremely fragile Statue of Ashura4protecting a wide range of products, including food, con-sumer goods, pharmaceuticals and electronics, during transpor-tation and storage, ensuring that they reach consumers in optimal condition. In addition, there is a growing demand for diversifi-cation, improved functionality and rationalization in line with con-sumer preferences, as well as for sales promotion and convenience. During the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Society of Packaging Science & Technology, Japan (SPSTJ) in July, the latest research on pack-aging from corporate research in-stitutes and universities was pre-sented. A total of 39 studies were introduced this year, 11 of which focused on packaging materials.- 2004: In the transportation of a large Buddhist statue, the “Rushana Buddha,” housed at Nara’s Toshodai-ji Temple, the challenge of size con-SPSTJ AwardSociety of Packaging Science & Technology, Japan (SPSTJ)The 32nd Annual Meeting of the SPSTJ: A look at the latest packaging research
