Some people say that cloned cultural property is merely imitation and therefore it is not real art, and I find that unfortunate.// I think it is wonderful that this technology can be used to preserve or restore cultural property that in the future may be lost due to unexpected events.// It is now also possible for us to prevent the deterioration caused by exposure to light and moisture at museums.// I hear that there have in fact been exhibitions held that display only cloned cultural property.// It would be a great achievement if this technology itself could one day create new works of art or cultural property.//
