Virtual world tour 4: Let's visit Japan!
page=poll/p=173670

Japan currently has 22 items on the intangible cultural heritage UNESCO list, very impressive and too many for a poll. Most of them I would be interested in admiring in person. The float festivals look like tremendous fun. The wooden architecture fascinates me as well. The idea of cultural heritage being tangible and intangible at the same time: wooden buildings can as a rule not be preserved over centuries and centuries, but as long as the skill is preserved, they can be periodically rebuilt.
