As noted, Japan has more than 1000 national treasures and I don't think it's realistic to list all of them. Instead, I am thinking to make a gallery of notable National Treasures of Japan. Does anyone have some comment? -- 219.122.169.128 08:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
None of this makes any sense. The Zenkō-ji in Nagano, and its constituent parts are, in fact, National Treasures, but the prefecture is not even listed among the statistical numbers. What gives? All of this needs to be researched much better... NeoThe1

There is still a problem. Do you have any idea how to do with the section of List of National Treasures.
These are obviously wrong,
These are inaccurate,
I dont, and I dont wish you to urge me to build the list of ALL the national treasures.-- 60.56.39.14 06:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if others will agree with me that this was a very good question and a plausibly helpful illustrative mistake? -- Tenmei ( talk) 15:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Concerning this phrase from the article: "structures" here refers to sites; the number of actual buildings is higher
Why are Ginkaku-ji's Tōgu-dō and Ginkaku (Silver Pavillion) different sites (according to the phrase and the list) while parts of Tōshō-gū in Nikkō are listed together under Tōshō-gū? Please also have a look at this discussion. bamse ( talk) 00:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
I generated
and am slowly working on List of National Treasures of Japan (temples) which together with the other lists would provide a complete list of buildings/structures which are National Treasures of Japan. (Because of lack of time, I am not going to do the same for other types of National Treasures.) I noticed that many of the individual castle, shrine,... articles don't mention the National Treasures. With these lists it is very easy to add information on which part of a temple, castle, etc. is a National Treasure. Please fell free to add to the individual articles. You also might want to link back to the lists. bamse ( talk) 04:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I started to expand the article and will ad more info over the next week or so. The article might look a bit rough in that process; my apologies. The section Former_and_present_national_treasures (which should be merged with the rest of the article) claims that there were "5,824 art works and 1,059 buildings". I could not find a source for these numbers. Does anybody know a reference for it? bamse ( talk) 00:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I Will be beginning the reviee rather slowly as I have a lot of work presently and was not planning to review any articles.
Starting out I will say that at a quick glance I share the ip-reviewers concerns about sourcing, but I also understand Bamse's statement that the article is essentially a summary article of the many detailed lists that are all sourced. The main problem of this review I predict will be finding a balance between giving adequate sourcing for all "direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged", and respecting that this article is a summary with detailed sources found in the subarticles. I must say up front that I don't think the article will be able to pass without adding further sourcing, but that it is a question of how thorough this sourcing will have to be. I would encourage bamse to look at the way in which the summary sections in an article like World War II is sourced - it has generally at least one reference to a general work on the topic for each summary subsection. I think that ideally the same should be done with this article. ·Maunus·ƛ· 08:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
1. Well written.
2.Factually accurate.
3.Broad in its coverage
4. Neutral.
5. Stable.
6. Illustrated.
I am very well pleased with the implemented changes. It improves readability and text flow that the large table is now gone - it also calms my doubts about MOS compliance. The sourcing is also sufficient now although it does rely on few sources that are used many times each. My two remaining concerns are with the graphical layout: the combination of many short sections with many images cause stacking problems when the article is read on a wide screen. This could preferably be handled by making the shortest sections longer (adding more detail), but also by removing some images (maybe not every category of treasure needs and image?), or combining some categories into larger sections e.g. "Shrines and temples", "Castles and residences" which would allow the photos in that section to be combined using the [ option]. Also the lead should have a well chosen image. I think that after a few improvements along those lines the article will be ready for GA status. ·Maunus·ƛ· 08:13, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Having reread the article one last time I find that alll my queries have been satisfactorily dealt with and I see no reason that this article should not now be one of wikipedias Good Artcles. Congratulations. ·Maunus·ƛ· 08:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I feel like there is a great deal of information that gets repeated several times. For example, the fact that Kansai has a preponderance of these objects is mentioned several times. Acire93 ( talk) 00:32, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
the #21 reference of the article, an important one, is erroneous. Indeed, the targeted PDF file does not contain any content about the article's subject; it is about "Japanese Language Policy", not national cultural properties. Unfortunately, I could not find the original document "Preservation and Utilization of Cultural Properties". Should this reference be removed ? It will be less damaging if someone could retrieve the proper original reference or bring another well qualified citation.--

When we see the Japanese government promoting items as 'National treasures' we need to be aware that Japanese politics has been dominated by extreme right wing pro Shinto politics for decades. Some balance or criticism of the selection scheme needs to be mentioned here for the page to be reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.225.246 ( talk) 04:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
