旧閑谷学校 世界遺産へ3市と連携 岡山(備前市閑谷)
備前市は12日、国特別史跡・旧閑谷学校(備前市閑谷)の世界遺産登録を目指す活動について、単独での登録を前提とする方針を転換し、全国の他の三つの教育遺産との一体登録に向けて関係市と連携していく考えを示した。
官民でつくる「旧閑谷学校世界遺産登録推進委員会」の会合を岡山市内で開き、備前市教委が説明した。
関係市は、国特別史跡「弘道館」がある水戸市、国史跡「足利学校」が所在する栃木県足利市、同「咸宜(かんぎ)園」の大分県日田市。
3市で構成する「教育遺産世界遺産登録推進協議会」(事務局・水戸市)に、備前市が2015年度から加わる予定。同協議会は3史跡が「近世の教育遺産」として一体で世界遺産に登録されるよう学術研究や啓発を進めており、旧閑谷学校も対象とする。
単独で活動してきた備前市は「他の史跡と連携すればPR効果が高まり、より戦略的な活動ができる」と判断。文化庁が世界遺産登録の前提となる国内の「暫定リスト」入りに必要な提案書を募った場合に備える。
旧閑谷学校をめぐって備前市は以前、岡山市など計4市町にある「近世岡山の文化・土木遺産群」(14件)として登録を推進。08年に暫定リスト入りを逃した後、文化庁の提案を受けて水戸、足利、日田市との連携を検討したが、備前市が委嘱した専門家の検討委が出した「単独登録を目指すべき」との結論を尊重してきた。
連携は、文化庁が15年度に始める「日本遺産」の認定制度がきっかけ。複数の文化財を共通の特徴でまとめて認定する仕組みで、同協議会が備前市に共同申請を打診。世界遺産の登録でも協力することで合意したという。
