On July 21, the government recognized 244 structures, including the five buildings at Tohoku University, in an effort to ensure the protection of buildings and structures of historical significance. Tangible Cultural Properties are categorized as "registered" or "designated," which differentiates their level of importance and protection under the law. The Designated Cultural Properties system imposes a stricter level of protection, while the Registered Cultural Properties system is a way for owners to voluntarily protect and maintain their properties. The buildings are all located at Katahira - home to Tohoku University's main administration buildings and original campus. The official acknowledgement is a welcome first for the university, as the system also guarantees a level of protection and support, such as subsidies for maintenance and tax reductions. "The first two national universities in Japan were established in Tokyo and Kyoto with government funds," said Yoshitaka Taniguchi, director of Public Relations at Tohoku University. "By the time the third national university was established in Tohoku, the government wasn't able to provide full funding. The remainder came from private contributions, and for this reason, the university has always tried to keep its doors open to the community. We hope to continue this tradition by making information about the properties available to the public." Details about the buildings and their histories will soon be accessible online, as well as in pamphlet form.
