This work aims to understand how Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) is educated as a topic of learning, inspiration, and enjoyment at a local site of cultural reproduction and how ICH transmission education is shaped by the stakeholder-shareholder relationship, including 1) the local citizens, 2) a holder of the ICH element, certified trainers, successors as teachers, and 3) administrators. The artist as a local citizen, I learned ‘Buddha sculpture making skill’ from a holder of ‘the Buddha sculpture making ICH element.’ This work is the result of it. As previous studies have focused less on the transmission education place of older listings on the list, it is necessary to study the topic at the most ground level. Adopting the qualitative ethnographic method, participant observation and interviews would be utilized, to present a detailed analysis. Findings would be helpful not only to the local element, but for other types of sound heritage that transcend the place that it played.
The inventory of ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’ (hereafter ICH) is an important vehicle in promoting cultural diversity and is significant for livelihood, communal geographical identities, and cultural rights. The elements in the inventory of ICH are inscribed on the standard setting system of the ‘United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’ (hereafter UNESCO). The government of the Republic of Korea ratified ‘the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage’ (hereafter the Convention) of UNESCO. The benefits ‘cultural diversity’ and ‘variability’ are promoted particularly through a ‘Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ (hereafter RL) among the three types of lists provided in the Convention. As the elements in RL are well-safeguarded, its time-tested usefulness is certified. The focus of this study is variability and contextualization by roles through the tertiary transmission of education participation.
