The Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage (under the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Korea Heritage Service, Director: Hwang In-ho), in collaboration with the Buyeo National Museum (Director: Shin Young-ho), will hold an international Conference titled “Landscape Restoration Plan and Future Tasks for the Royal Tombs in Buyeo” on October 29, starting at 9:40 a.m., at Sabi Maru Hall, Buyeo National Museum (Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do). The Royal Tombs of Buyeo, where the royal burials of the Baekje Sabi Period are concentrated, represent a symbolic space of royal funerary culture. Located on the eastern outskirts of the Sabi Capital, the area also holds great landscape significance. Recognized for its cultural heritage value, the Royal Tombs of Buyeo were inscribed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Baekje Historic Areas” in 2015, marking their 10th anniversary of inscription this year. However, the site’s landscape has undergone significant alterations due to looting, limited investigations during the Japanese colonial period, and excessive restoration work conducted in the 1960s–1970s. As a result, the shape of the burial mounds and the overall landscape have deviated from their original form. This conference aims to share the latest research on the restoration of the Buyeo royal tomb landscape and to explore ways to authentically reconstruct the ancient landscape by comparing case studies of royal tomb sites from Korea, China, and Japan. The event will consist of two sessions, focusing on the “Structure” and “Landscape” of the Royal Tombs of Buyeo, with six presentations followed by an expert panel discussion. In Session 1, the following presentations will be given: • “Research Findings and Challenges on Tombs No. 3 and No. 4 of the Buyeo Royal Tombs” — Oh Dong-sun, Suncheon National University • “Composition and Landscape of Southern Dynasties and Sui-Tang Tombs in China” — Wu Guibing, Nanjing University (China) • “Maintenance, Preservation, and Utilization of Royal Tombs in Japan’s Asuka Period” — Saiko Shinji, Asuka Village Board of Education, Nara Prefecture (Japan) Session 1 will offer a comparative look at the structural characteristics of royal Tombs across East Asia. In Session 2, presentations will address scientific and geographical approaches to restoration: • “Material, Provenance, and Structural Stability of Stone Materials in the Buyeo Royal Tombs” — Lee Chan-hee, Kongju National University • “Landscape Restoration Based on the Original Topography of the Buyeo Royal Tombs” — Lee Soung-ki, Terrafix • “Landscape Transformations of Baekje Royal Tombs and Restoration Directions for the Buyeo Royal Tombs” — Sung Jeong-yong, Chungbuk National University Following the presentations, Professor Kwon Oh-young (Seoul National University) will chair a comprehensive discussion featuring experts including Lee Hyun-sook (Kongju National University Museum), Cho Yun-jae (Korea University), Woo Jae-pyoung (Chungnam National University), Kim Sa-duk (Myongji University), Kang Dong-seok (Dongguk University), and Lee Sung-joon (Chungnam National University), along with the presenters. After the academic session, a public forum will be held to share opinions and gather feedback from local residents and various stakeholders. The conference is open to all participants through on-site registration and will be livestreamed on the NRICH YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@nrichstory).

The Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage will continue to conduct research aimed at clarifying the historical significance of the Buyeo Royal Tombs and pursuing authentic restoration of cultural heritage. The institute also plans to share research outcomes with the public, fostering greater participation in the preservation of cultural heritage.
