Summary

A critical analysis of Alex Kerr's work reveals how he bridged cultural divides to interpret and explain Japanese heritage, particularly in Kyoto. The study identifies key elements of Japanese cultural heritage that Kerr highlighted for Western audiences and examines his methods for translating these elements effectively. It also explores how intercultural relations are mediated through cultural heritage, offering insights into the complexities of cross-cultural interpretation. The research combines content analysis with pilot studies conducted in Kyoto, providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges and dynamics involved in studying and presenting foreign cultural heritage.
