Dear Sir,

Thank you for your mail.

I look forward to see you soon.

The meaning of intangible cultural asset: Something has a big cultural and historical value as skill, music, play, crafts and etc. It doesn?t have the shape, so actually it is person who has this kind of ability.

I hope this answer is helpful to you.

Best regards. Won Sung Mo, WTAFOC

I am still not clear as to his meaning of the topic of the paper. Only possibly three countries have bow or arrow makers of this status, Korea, China and Japan? There are many other countries represented at WTAF.

Jack, I think that [ intangible cultural asset ] is definitly wrong expression,
it's a national approval system for traditional culture in korea,
like a horn bow makers who authorized by Cultural Heritage Administration. we called them [intangible cultural asset], &#47924;&#54805;&#47928;&#54868;&#51116;
lexically, it means his skills and knowledges...

simply, it means master artisan or meister who mastered about traditional cultures. (making something, spiritual ceremony, traditional arts...)

I can't sure what exactly they want..

[jack farrell]

Thanks Mechwar; I completely understand the concept of the national approval system. What I do not understand is how someone from, say, the USA can write on such a topic when we do not have that system? WTAF OC are very smart people so there must be an intended meaning.

[mechwar]

I've got some details from OC,
but their explanation is not enough,
so I request more informations about this subject, including your question.

[jack farrell]

Thankyou.

[mechwar]

Jack, I recieve the answer from them,
but there is no answer for your question,

Mr. Won just said everyone understood about this comprehensive(?) subject, and he believes he gave enough information to everyone. ;(

[jack farrell]

Thanks Mechwar. We will just proceed from there.
