The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen has been vandalized multiple times since its installation in 1913, with incidents including the theft of its head in 1964 and 1998, and the severing of its arm in 1984.

The statue was also blown up in 2003, and has been repainted many times due to graffiti and paint damage, including an incident in 2020 where it was vandalized with the inscription "Racist fish".

In 2023, the statue was vandalized again, with the Russian flag colors being painted on its pedestal, which is perceived as a sign of support in the Ukrainian conflict.

The frequent vandalism of the statue has raised concerns about the impact of tourism on its conservation, with tourists often touching and kissing the statue despite warning signs prohibiting such behavior.

The statue's creator, Edvard Eriksen, likely did not anticipate the repeated intentional damages that the statue would suffer, and the Danish police have launched investigations into the vandalism incidents.

The vandalism of the Little Mermaid statue is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a broader cultural and political context in which statues and monuments are being targeted and reevaluated.

The removal of colonial statues and the vandalization of statues symbolizing racist and colonial concepts are becoming increasingly common, reflecting a shift in societal values and a desire to confront and rectify historical injustices.

The Little Mermaid statue's vandalism, particularly the most recent incident with Russian flag colors, can be seen as a reflection of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the broader geopolitical tensions in Europe.

Denmark has criticized Russia's war against Ukraine, and the vandalism of the Little Mermaid statue may be seen as a form of protest or show of support for Russia's position in the conflict.

The incident highlights the complex and often contentious nature of cultural and political expression, and the ways in which statues and monuments can become lightning rods for controversy and debate.

The investigation into the vandalism is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the incident will be resolved and what measures will be taken to prevent future acts of vandalism.

The Little Mermaid statue's history of vandalism serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and protecting public art from damage and destruction.

The statue's significance extends beyond its cultural and historical value, as it has also become a symbol of Copenhagen and a source of national pride.

To manage tourism and visitor behavior around the Little Mermaid statue and mitigate its impact on the statue's conservation, clear warning signs are installed around the sculpture to prohibit touching.

Guided tours can be set up to reduce tourist impact, and an online application and AI system can be tested for management, potentially providing a technological solution to mitigating the impact of tourism on the statue.

Real-time information can be provided to visitors for conservation, which could help raise awareness about the importance of preserving the statue.

A perennial plan can be developed for scientific investigations, indicating a long-term commitment to understanding and addressing the conservation needs of the statue.

Sensitive organism conservation and restoration can be strengthened, which could be relevant to preserving the marine environment surrounding the Little Mermaid statue.

Intertidal rotation rest can be implemented for conservation, suggesting a strategy for managing the impact of tourism on the statue's surroundings.

Entrance numbers may be reduced or closed for ecological balance, which could be a necessary measure to protect the statue and its environment.

The Danish police have launched investigations into the vandalism incidents, collecting evidence and visiting the crime scene to register the acts.

The authorities have condemned the vandalism incidents, with the police responding to incidents after they occur.

The Copenhagen police have searched for evidence in the area, but it is unclear what measures are being taken to protect the statue from future damage.

Despite the repeated incidents, the Danish authorities have not indicated the source of the vandalism or implemented specific strategies to prevent future incidents.

The investigation into the vandalism incidents is ongoing, with the police trying to find the perpetrators and prevent future incidents.

The Little Mermaid statue has been restored after each vandalism incident, with conservation techniques preserving the original condition of the statue.

The statue is 110 years old and still standing, and restoration techniques have been effective in maintaining the statue.

The use of iron gall ink in the vandalism incidents has penetrated the marble crystal, making it difficult to remove.

Laser and ultrasound techniques have been tried to remove the ink, but chemical agents have been used to dilute the ink stains.

The restoration team, led by Mori Junichi, has used scientific comparisons and expertise from Italy and NTU's chemical lab to restore the statue.

The 185-day repair process has been a complex and challenging task, but the team has been able to restore the statue to its original condition.

The Little Mermaid statue has been vandalized many times since its installation, with incidents including protests and racist messages.

The Danish police have used online surveillance units to track digital crimes, which could potentially be used to prevent and investigate vandalism incidents.

The police have also used community awareness programs to prevent incidents, highlighting the importance of public awareness in addressing vandalism.

The authorities have taken a multifaceted approach to addressing vandalism, including law enforcement, community engagement, and increased security measures.

The Little Mermaid statue has been decapitated twice, and was also knocked off its base with explosives in 2003.

The statue was also vandalized with red paint in 2017 during a whale hunting protest, and the words "Racist fish" were painted on its base in 2020 during worldwide George Floyd protests.

The vandalism of the Little Mermaid statue has been related to various cultural and political contexts, including the Ukrainian conflict and social justice movements.

The statue has been targeted several times since its installation, with incidents including the head being stolen in 1964 and not recovered, and the head being cut off again in 1998, later restored.

The statue was exposed to an explosion in 2003, and it was targeted with graffiti in 2020, including the "Racist fish" inscription.

The Little Mermaid statue is part of Danish cultural heritage, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, and is a popular tourist destination in Copenhagen.

Despite clear warning signs against touching, the statue has been damaged by tourists, with one incident captured on video showing a tourist kissing and touching the statue, prompting condemnation from Copenhagen residents.

The statue was doused in red paint in 2017 to protest whale hunting, and vandalized with "racist fish" in 2020 during the George Floyd protests, highlighting the statue's vulnerability to intentional damage.

An investigation was launched to find the vandals responsible for the most recent incident, in which the Russian flag was painted on the stone base of the statue.

The Little Mermaid statue has suffered vandalism multiple times since 1964, with various forms of damage, including theft of the head, cutting off of the hand, and explosion.

The statue suffered a head theft in 1964, which was not recovered, and again in 1998, when the head was cut off and later restored.

In 1984, the statue's arm was severed, and in 2003, it was exposed to an explosion that blew it loose.

The statue has also been targeted with graffiti on several occasions, including being painted with "racist fish" in 2020.

Recently, the statue was vandalized with the Russian flag, with the Russian tricolor painted on the statue's foundation, in an incident that occurred on a Thursday night.

The motivation behind this incident is perceived as a sign of support for the Kremlin in the Ukrainian conflict, as Denmark has criticized Russia's war against Ukraine.

The statue has been a popular tourist attraction in Copenhagen since its installation in 1913, and it is considered part of Danish cultural heritage.

The repeated vandalism of the statue has led to investigations being launched by the Danish police, but the perpetrators remain unknown.

The statue was created by Edward Eriksen and weighs 175 kg, and it has been targeted by vandals on several occasions, with the most recent incident being discovered early on a Thursday.

The vandalism incident has sparked outrage among Copenhagen residents, and an investigation is ongoing to find the perpetrator.

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen has been vandalized multiple times since its creation, with incidents occurring in 1964, 1984, 1998, 2003, 2017, 2020, and 2022.

The statue was beheaded in 1964 and 1998, and its arm was severed in 1984.

In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives, causing significant damage.

The statue was also graffitied with "racist fish" in 2020, and Russian flag colors were painted on it in 2022.

Red paint was used in a 2017 protest against whale hunting, and the stone statue sits on was also vandalized.

After each vandalism incident, the statue has undergone restoration, with techniques including the use of lasers, ultrasound, and chemical agents to remove ink stains.

The restoration process has been challenging due to the marble's lower grade, and the ink stains can only be diluted, not completely removed, to avoid causing irreversible damage.

A reversible treatment was used to temporarily cover the ink stains for exhibition, and the restoration team was led by Junichi Mori, a Japanese

1: 09 AM
The unusual behavior of an American tourist in Copenhagen caused a storm of indignation among other travelers who witnessed this incident.
The girl came to the statue of the Little Mermaid and, not paying attention to the prohibition to touch the monument, began to touch and even kiss her.
The witness of this incident was a tourist named Dylan Trinkler, who captured everything on his phone.
The video shows how the girl climbed the pedestal of the monument, pressed her face against it and began to kiss the statue.
At the same time, clear warning signs about the prohibition of such actions were installed around the sculpture.
Many people began to condemn the violator, shouted at her to leave.
It should be noted that the statue of the Little Mermaid was installed in 1913 and is made of bronze and granite.
It is part of Danish cultural heritage and is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen ’ s famous fairy tale about a mermaid who gave up her underwater world for the love of a prince on land.

Content: Unknown people draw Russian flag on a statue of a mermaid in Copenhagen
COPENHAGEN (AFP) - The iconic Little Mermaid statue in the Danish capital Copenhagen was vandalized on Wednesday night as unidentified people painted the Russian flag on its base.
Announcement
An AFP correspondent reported that the Russian flag was painted under unknown circumstances on the stone above which a statue of the Little Mermaid, inspired by the heroine of one of the stories of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, was installed.
Danish police said they were launching an investigation into the incident, without giving any indication of the source of the move, which shows clear support for Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
A Copenhagen police spokesman told AFP: "We are investigating the area in order to find any evidence."
A small number of tourists in the area took pictures of the statue in the port of Copenhagen, which was vandalized on Thursday morning.
The Little Mermaid statue on a largely unfrequented promenade has been targeted several times since it was installed in 1913.
In 1964, the head of the nymph was stolen for the first time without being recovered.
In 1998, a group of vandals cut off the head of the statue again, but it was later restored.
This monument was exposed to the explosion in 2003.
The statue, created by Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen, has also been targeted several times with graffiti or graffiti, most recently in 2020 with the inscription “racist fish ”.

The vandalism of the Little Mermaid statue is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a broader cultural and political context in which statues and monuments are being targeted and reevaluated.

How do we deal with controversial monuments that are also part of Vancouver's history?

While there were a variety of views, the consensus is a cooling-off period might be the best solution before reintroducing controversial works and explaining the context in which the art was created.

Article content

Statues have been in the news a lot lately, not because they’re shining examples of public art displaying the best of humankind, but for the racist and colonial concepts they’ve come to symbolize.

What to do with them, though: Should they be destroyed? Hidden from view in a dusty backroom of a museum somewhere?

A panel of local art experts tackled that question on Feb. 10 and, while there were a variety of views, the consensus was a cooling-off period might be the best solution before reintroducing controversial works and explaining the context in which the art was created.

“A Columbus statue, for example, needs to be put away for awhile,” said Angela Clarke, director and museum curator at the Italian Culture Centre Gallery and moderator of the public-art panel. “We need to acknowledge he was not a good person.

“I think there’s a lot of negotiation with that and we need to reflect on how we present these things thoughtfully.”

It may surprise a lot of people that for years the PNE was home to a statue of a young Columbus, a gift from the Italian sailor’s hometown of Genoa called The Dreamer, until it was removed to storage early last year after several acts of vandalism and a threat to decapitate it.

Or how to explain to tourists milling around the statue of Gassy Jack at Maple Tree Square that the saloon keeper who gave his name to Gastown that, at age 40, he married a 12-year-old Indigenous girl who, after giving birth to a son, ran away at 15?

Or a bust of Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator who was Adolf Hitler’s ally in the Second World War, that was once displayed at the Italian Cultural Centre.

It was that Mussolini bust by Charles Marega, an immigrant sculptor from Italy who anyone crossing the Lions Gate Bridge heading north will know of from the lions adorning the Stanley Park side of the bridge, that eventually wound-up leading to last week’s panel discussion.

“It started as a celebration (of Marega), then became more of a roast, and then at the end it was a bit of an excoriation in a way because you’re starting with this figure who really brought a lot of dignity to the Italian community at a time when there was a lot of racism toward that community,” Clarke said. “Marega was this elegant, artistic figure who was commissioned to do all these amazing things and he was popular because he was bringing all these European ideas like Beaux-Arts here.

“As time has gone on, as much as we are staggered at how wide-ranging his influence was in public sculpture here in Vancouver, at the same time there’s so much that’s questionable about the things he did.”

For one, his very notion of what public art was for was diametrically opposed to what we consider its purpose is today, Clarke said. Marega’s idea was public art should represent the corporate culture of the city and that that is what people in the community not only expected, but also wanted public sculptures to reflect.

“There was no sense of questioning the status quo and of course the lions on the bridge, as beautiful and majestic as they are, for an Indigenous person … ”

The bridge lions aren’t mountain lions, after all, they’re symbols of Britain and its aristocracy, and the peaks they’re named after had a name — Ch’ich’iyúy Elxwikn, the Twin Sisters — long, long before contact with Europeans.

But do we destroy the statues? Take them down and store them?

Panel members had several thoughts:

“There really shouldn’t be a blanket statement across the country, or across the province,” Ammar Mahimwalla said.

Mahimwalla now lives in Victoria but for five years until 2018 he was the special projects adviser with Vancouver Biennale.

“My sense personally, using artwork for cultural monuments as learning tools is definitely important,” he said.

Growing up in India, a lot of colonial history was officially erased, practically overnight: Cities were renamed, statues were taken down and placed in “museum graveyards where nobody would really go visit them.”

“Which is worse in some cases,” he said, than keeping the art front-and-centre to remind people of what not to repeat.

Content: Russian Flag Painted on Copenhagen's Most Famous Landmark

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue
By Rob Quinn,  Newser Staff
Posted Mar 2, 2023 10:15 AM CST

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

Content: Five Great American Dramatic Societies Are Coming
Author: Au Jingluo
Published: Updated:
Recently, the whole world is "watching" a melon.
The armed standoff between the U.S. federal government and Texas, triggered by illegal immigration and border management issues at the U.S.-Mexico border, continues.
The article was authorized to reprint, Zhejiang propaganda "at the bottom of the American society five tear"
In recent years, the United States has staged a number of farce, from the incessant and chaotic Capitol Hill riots to the escalating confrontation, the world has once again seen the "unexpected" of American society.
The details of this incident are not listed, so we will talk about the five major tears in American society.
Pictured, on February 3, at the Texas border, Trump supporters raised flags in support of Trump. (Reuters)
Political parties split apart
"Perfect system, mature governance" has always been regarded as a prominent feature of the American political system, and American politicians have long been proud of it.
However, there is no absolutely perfect system in the world, and the political system of the United States inevitably has limitations. The intensifying partisan struggle has exposed the false face of American democracy, and to a certain extent, the institutional inferiority of its "veto politics".
In essence, this is the root cause of the "boxing" within and between political parties in the United States.
With the advent of the election year, the Democratic and Republican parties will "overplay" more frequently, and the further intensification of the bipartisan struggle and political confrontation may "pour oil on the fire" for the political polarization and social ripping in the United States.
This farce in Texas is the result of the Donkey Elephant War.
Previously, the Democratic Party has given Trump a "generous gift" to disqualify him from the primaries in Maine and Colorado, and now the Republican Party is still coloring the issue of immigration in Texas.
The tearing apart of political parties has also triggered widespread concern within American society about the American democratic system.
For example, the US "Atlantic Monthly" has issued an article saying that it is worried that the United States is "in the dilemma of democratic regression."
Thirteen presidential libraries have issued a joint warning: American democracy is fragile.
According to a Reuters survey in 2023, nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that Republican and Democratic politicians in the United States are unable to perform their duties due to their obsession with partisan struggles.
It can be expected that as long as this political system continues, there will be no major change in the two-party struggle in the United States, which will continue to dissolve the so-called political rationality in the United States.

Blacks generally support the Democratic Party. (Reuters)
Second, the accumulation of difficult to return to the ethnic division
The United States has a long history of racial problems.
Historically, the United States has carried out massacres, deportations, and cultural extermination of indigenous peoples, including Indians, which is a stain that the United States can never whiten.
The legacy of slavery has long haunted American society.
At present, discrimination against people of color in the United States is still the same, and the deep-rooted concept of "white privilege" has made the plight of ethnic minorities more and more prominent.
The phenomenon of black "zero dollar purchase" and black and white street confrontation frequently staged throughout the United States allows people to see that the sentence "I can't breathe" before the death of black man George Freud has become a reflection of the plight of ethnic minorities in the United States.
In addition, class solidification and wealth division are new accounts of the widening racial divide in the United States.
According to the Federal Reserve, skin color is directly related to the wealth gap in the United States.
This gap has widened over the past few decades. The median wealth of white families has tripled since 1989, while that of black, Hispanic and Latino families has barely increased.
In addition, the data shows that the median net worth of white households in the United States is 10 times the median net worth of black households.
As American scholars have pointed out, “skin color clearly plays an important role in determining the fate of Americans. ”
It can be imagined that if the United States does not "count the new accounts and the old accounts" of racial discrimination, this rift will also bring deeper damage to it.
Third, difficult to bridge the identity tear
The ever-expanding phenomenon of identity politics is becoming a source of crisis for American democracy.
What is "identity politics"? Some scholars have summarized it as: people in social and political life generated a sense of emotional and conscious belonging, and related political behavior.
Some people liken American society to a "salad platter", where people of different colors and religions live together in a large society.
In the early days of statehood, identity politics in the United States was relatively simple.
However, since then, identity politics in the United States has expanded and evolved into multiple ethnic groups such as whites, blacks, Latinos, and Asians, and issues such as gender, sexual orientation, abortion, environmental protection, climate change, immigration, and foreign relations have also intertwined, creating a complex situation, resulting in numerous social contradictions.
For example, in recent years, educational farce in American schools has been staged, and discussions around sexual minorities, guiding children to change sex and other issues have gradually evolved into the focus of social controversy.
Similar controversies have occurred in the sports world, where news such as "bearded sexual minority athletes taking part in the women's competition to win the championship" continues to generate heated debate.
At the same time, some politicians actively promoted the generalization of identity in exchange for so-called ballot support.
For example, some American politicians use anti-awakening and anti-sex to encourage voters to vote for themselves, which in turn exacerbates the polarization of the American people ’ s identity and leads to an increasingly “mosaic ” of social consensus in the United States.
Black people play the mermaid. The live-action version of "Little Mermaid" has been criticized as too "politically correct".
Fourth, the overcorrected culture rips apart
With the further deepening of globalization, the domestic culture of the United States has shown a more diverse trend.
The widespread popularity of TikTok among young Americans in the past two years is a testament to this.
At the same time, the cultural tears brought by racial tears, identity tears, gender tears, etc., so that the cultural charm of the United States itself has been somewhat dissolved.
Although new cultural terms such as "cancel culture" and "offensive culture" are constantly emerging in the United States, or elements such as "black mermaid" and "black snow princess" are implanted in cultural IP, and are constantly recommended by capital, they have not proved to have the same strong, dominant influence as American culture and American values.
These cultural IPs implanted with "political correctness" lack the smell of human fire, and compared with the Western cowboys, superheroes, transformers and other cultural images derived from the American "tough guy culture", they lack some inspiring factors and cannot elicit broader resonance.
In addition, there is also a voice that now including Americans themselves have found that these routines are in fact the continuation of party politics, is the political party for political interests to launch a cultural play.
Some scholars have pointed out that "uniting people as one" is the creed of American society and is also part of the so-called "American dream", but at present, the new ways of "eliminating culture" advocated by the American elite are constantly eroding this creed.
Pictured, on February 3, 2024, Biden (center) and Vice President Hu Jintao (second from right) travel to Wilmington, Delaware for a rally. (Reuters)
Fifth, the interests of the supreme allies torn
Kissinger once said: "Being an enemy of the United States may be dangerous, but being a friend of the United States is deadly."
In fact, the Federalists represented by Hamilton of the United States Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation
For example, in order to maintain its economic hegemony, the Reagan administration used a "square agreement" to kill Japan; in order to solve the country's long-term trade imbalance, the Trump administration has engaged in trade bullying, including the European Union and Japan; in order to seize the arms business, the Biden administration "stabbed" in the back of France, which is the United States "oldest ally."
The operation of "the boat of friendship flips and flips" appears to be caused by the spillover effect of the US party struggle, but in essence, it is because in the eyes of American politicians, the so-called allies are only a tool to protect their own interests, and the United States' "unity" is only a fig leaf for "America first".
More fundamentally, it is because the world is now multipolar, the hegemony that the United States is trying to maintain has become unpopular, and its system of allies is becoming more and more relaxed.
When the United States of America is unable to "unite the people", this ups and downs of the "beautiful drama" also reminds us once again: American democracy is not the "standard answer" to the human political order.
In 2024, the US election has begun.
Will this decisive battle expose the wounds of the above five tears to the world more thoroughly?
Let's see what follows.

The investigation into the vandalism is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the incident will be resolved and what measures will be taken to prevent future acts of vandalism.

A statue of the Little Mermaid, one of the most iconic tourist attractions in the Danish capital Copenhagen, was deliberately vandalized last night, and the cornerstone below the statue was painted with the white, blue and red colors of the Russian flag.

The Little Mermaid comes from the famous fairy tale of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, where the stone beneath the bronze statue is painted in three colors of the Russian flag.
Copenhagen police told Agence France-Presse that since they arrived this morning, "a case of vandalism has been filed" and "local investigations have been launched to trace traces".
It is clear that this means supporting Moscow ’ s position in the Ukraine war.
Some tourists, puzzled by this, took pictures of the damaged statue this morning.
The 175-kilogram Little Mermaid is a work by sculptor Edvard Eriksen, inspired by the Danish poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen ’ s 1837 fairy tale of the same name.
The statue, which sits next to a relatively secluded waterfront walkway, has been vandalized several times over the years, including two burglaries of its head in 1964 and 1998, and a severed arm in 1984. In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives and fell into the bay.
It has also been graffitied and painted several times, most recently in 2020 with the words “racist fish. ”

The statue's significance extends beyond its cultural and historical value, as it has also become a symbol of Copenhagen and a source of national pride.

To manage tourism and visitor behavior around the Little Mermaid statue and mitigate its impact on the statue's conservation, clear warning signs are installed around the sculpture to prohibit touching.

Guided tours can be set up to reduce tourist impact, and an online application and AI system can be tested for management, potentially providing a technological solution to mitigating the impact of tourism on the statue.

Small Liuqiu intertidal zone life mass death Pingfu: actively facing
Due to climate change and the rapid development of Hsiao Liuchiu tourism, the Pingtung County government said that the county government is actively facing the need to achieve a balance between tourism development and ecological conservation in order to limit the number of tourists and stampede areas.
The Pingtung County Government issued a press release today, saying that since 2016, it has commissioned a team of Sun Yat-sen University to conduct academic research and review and adjust conservation measures according to the "early warning principle" to actively achieve a win-win situation for tourism development and ecological conservation in the Xiaoliuqiu intertidal zone.
According to the research team's investigation, in July and August this year, a large number of organisms in the Little Liuqiu intertidal zone died, mainly because of the rapid desalination of seawater caused by continuous rainfall under the global extreme climate, followed by hot sun exposure.
The county government gradually improved conservation measures on the basis of science.
The county government said that in March this year, the announcement of "Ryukyu and Checheng Aquatic Fauna and Flora Breeding and Conservation Areas and Related Restrictions" was amended to include the inter-tidal zone conservation zone in Xiaoliuqiu.
In addition, the county government has set up a guided tour between Sungfu and Yue Cheng's tail tide zone to reduce the area of tourists' tread, and a guided tour route between the Tu Tsaiping tide zone will also be set up next year.
Next year, the county government will test online application, AI number recognition, electronic biological display and other software and hardware system management, so that tourists can book online, and provide real-time number of intertidal zone, regulations announcement, biological explanation, latest news and other information, so that visitors can know the number of intertidal zone before the trip, and fully understand the conservation management measures and biological conservation.
The county government said that in the future, it will continue to develop a perennial plan to the central government to support scientific investigations and develop feasible plans according to the results of the investigation, including strengthening the investigation, conservation and restoration of sensitive organisms, evaluating the establishment of a core conservation area, implementing intertidal rotation rest, and reducing the number of entrants or closing down the rest according to the ecological situation.

Intertidal rotation rest can be implemented for conservation, suggesting a strategy for managing the impact of tourism on the statue's surroundings.

Entrance numbers may be reduced or closed for ecological balance, which could be a necessary measure to protect the statue and its environment.

The Danish police have launched investigations into the vandalism incidents, collecting evidence and visiting the crime scene to register the acts.

The authorities have condemned the vandalism incidents, with the police responding to incidents after they occur.

The Copenhagen police have searched for evidence in the area, but it is unclear what measures are being taken to protect the statue from future damage.

Despite the repeated incidents, the Danish authorities have not indicated the source of the vandalism or implemented specific strategies to prevent future incidents.

The investigation into the vandalism incidents is ongoing, with the police trying to find the perpetrators and prevent future incidents.

Content: "Love Media Chien Hsiu-chih Column" The Yellow Water (1895-1930) "manna water" has finally returned to her mother's house.
Like lost contact for many years, the humiliated daughter, all over the mud returned to her mother's house, but she still raised her head and raised her chest, not shed half a drop of tears, but saw her mother's eyes, her heart was like a knife.
After 185 days of careful, careful and gentle repair process, they took pains to take scientific comparisons and international experts streaming, but still couldn ’ t remove the old ink stain, as if the yellow water had been an art for a lifetime, and had borne the world ’ s troubles and sufferings.
And those old ink stains are also branded with some of the selfish bias of human nature, and at the same time highlight the serious lack of aesthetic education in Taiwan in the early years.
"Mannen Water" is a rare surviving marble work of loess water, and it is also an epic creation, which plays an important role in the history of Taiwanese art.
Created between 1919 and 1920, Mannu was selected for the 3rd Japan Imperial Exhibition (Imperial Art Exhibition), and even the Japanese royal family was interested in the work. It was exhibited in the Taiwan Pavilion of the Tokyo Peace Memorial Expo.
After Huang Tu-shui's death in 1930, his family shipped 500 kilograms of "Mannoshui" to Taiwan in 1931, together with other works, to be collected by the Taiwan Education Association.
After the end of the Japanese era, the Provisional Provincial Council of Taiwan Province moved to Taichung, but in 1958, "Mannen" moved south, embarked on a wandering fate. Although placed by the surgeon Chang Hung-biao family, in 1974, under the treacherous social atmosphere, Chang family sealed "Mannen" in a family-run factory, nearly half a century, with dark traces of ink and dark boxes. In.
The North Master gave birth to a talented young man and returned to his mother's home.
2021 is the 100th anniversary of the selection of Huang Tu Shui “Mannu Water ” in the emperor ’ s exhibition, and it seems that there is a force driving it.
At the end of April this year, when the time came, the "right people, the right situation" finally appeared.
After repeated communication and contacts, the descendants of the Chang family agreed to donate "unconditionally" to the state, so that "manna" finally saw the light of day.
On May 11 this year, "Mannen Water" arrived at the Beishi Museum of Art with care and officially returned to her mother's home.
The Kitaishi Museum of Art and Tokyo University of Fine Arts alumnus Junichi Mori formed a restoration team to carry out professional restoration.
In September this year, under the witness of President Tsai Ing-wen, Zhang Shiwen and Minister of Culture Li Yongde officially signed a contract to deliver the national collection.
In 1921, he was selected for the third emperor exhibition in Japan, becoming a Taiwanese artist once again after he was selected for the second emperor exhibition in 1920.
When the good news came out, the teachers and friends of Huang Tushui in Tokyo and Taipei were proud.
The following year, "Mannoshui" was also invited to be exhibited in the Taiwan Pavilion of the Peace Memorial Expo in Tokyo, Japan, and wrote an unprecedented record, proving that the Japanese royal family and the academic community at that time gave "Mannoshui" a high evaluation and affirmation.
Huang Tun-shui, a native of Taipei's Mengjia, first entered the Mengjia Public School, which was used as a classroom in the Mengjia Temple for a year, and then moved back to Tataocheng Public School (now Taiping Elementary School), where he entered the Mandarin School of the Governor-General's Office.
MORI CHUN-YI LIN MANLI DONG UNIVERSITY FIND EXPERTS FOR EXPERIENCE
November 11 marks the museum ’ s first public appearance after a professional restoration of Mannen.
Lin Man-li, chairman of the National Arts Council, and Junichi Mori, a Japanese expert in restoration, co-chaired a press conference to explain the restoration of the half-century old manna, and the changes in the face after the restoration.
To the north, the north is his mother ’ s home.
And in the school for more than 30 years, is also the North Division Museum of the birth of the director, Lin Manli, feeling particularly deep, when seeing the completion of 100 years of the creation of "manna", in the dust for more than half a century, back to the North Division Museum of Art, like the wandering daughter home, the mood of the excitement, ineffable.
However, the dust servant ’ s daughter returned to her mother ’ s house, and the appearance did not appear to be damaged, but the dust and ink stains, especially when they were maliciously splashed in their private parts, made people not bear to read.
The world's mothers are the same, see the tired daughter, so badly hurt, almost torn liver, heart like a knife.
So the museum and Japanese restoration expert Junichi Mori immediately organized a repair team, since May 11, this year, "Manna" entered the museum, it has been exactly 6 months, but after half a year (185 days) of professional repair, the impurities can be removed, so that the work looks very good, and the private parts of the work, malicious spilled ink, has completely penetrated into the marble crystal. The soul is strong, and the soul is strong, and it is like a dream, and it is not a dream.
Evil ink attack, as early as more than half a century ago, imagine that for more than 50 years, every day wrapped in evil ink long sleep, the feeling of humiliation, can not be described by pen ink.
But in the works, the young girl's slightly raised forehead, warm face, coupled with half open eyes, is still not humble and unkind, and holds up all the attacks and hardships, making people more reluctant, so that the world's mother shared a bitter tears.
Lin Man-li, who also studied in Japan and took ten years to obtain a doctorate from the University of Tokyo, hopes to do her utmost to save the work of Huang Tu-shui, a senior at Tokyo University (formerly known as the Tokyo School of Fine Arts).
In the eyes of Chairman Lin Man-li, the talented and diligent Huang Tu-shui is a rare artistic talent in the past. The time when “Mann-shui ” was selected for the Emperor ’ s Exhibition Award was exactly 100 years ago. It seems like a coincidence of fate, but it is a self-selection of Huang Tu-shui. It is more like the God who was jealous of talents and mistakenly grasping the wonders. After the wind and frost," Mannen Water "returned to the Museum of Fine Arts, like a neighbor who lost her daughter, and after a long search and waiting, returned to her mother's arms, making the Museum of Fine Arts feel warm and warm.
Because of the epidemic, he came to Taiwan last year to repair Huang Tu-shui's "Girl's Chest" and has remained in Taiwan.
Iron urchin ink snake scorpion behavior aesthetics bad taste naked goddess 63 years black box accompanied by long sleep with stain
Mori analyzed the composition of the ink, and he confirmed that the ink stain that was sprayed on "Manna" was "iron gall ink".
This ink, made from a mixture of vegetable tanning and iron salts, has been widely used by European artists since the 5th century.
Because the ink is acidic, written on paper, for a long time, there will be corrosion, "manna" has been spilled by iron liner ink for more than half a century, has been completely melted into the texture of the stone, whether it has a biochemical effect on the marble, it is not yet known, but in terms of repair experience, it is extremely rare.
At present, the private parts of the "manna" statue can be seen with the naked eye, and the inner parts of the thigh are still imprinted with pale blue ink.
In the past six months, the repair team has contacted Italian restorers and NTU's chemical laboratory to try to remove the ink through lasers, ultrasound, and various chemical agents, but it has not been able to completely remove it, because the ink has stayed in the statue more than one piece, and the stain has been inhaled and assimilated by the marble.
From the creation of "manna" so far, more than 100 years, so the repair team is trembling, all repair attempts must work safety as the first priority, look forward to one day, safe and effective decontamination tricks appear, can be dealt with again, but at this stage ink stains can only be diluted.
Lin says that it is a kind of historical imprint, a process that Taiwanese people should remember and reflect on.
Due to the removal of the ink stain, it is feared that it will cause irreversible second-degree damage, so the repair work can only be promoted by bulldozing.
In order to eliminate the stubborn evil ink, they used expert research to understand the source of what kind of black ink, calculate the time of spraying, and make a detailed analysis of everything based on historical development and scientific basis.
Mori, who was in charge of the restoration work, not only handled the bust of "The Girl", which caused a great deal of response last year, but also the restoration of "The Buffalo Herd" by Chungshan Hall, and also helped with the restoration and reproduction of "Teijiro Yamamoto" commissioned by the National Taiwan Museum of Art.
At yesterday's press conference, Mori Junichi said that as a sculptor, a restorer, and a student at Tokyo University of the Arts, his respect for Huang Tu Shui is growing day by day.
After World War I, Japan needs the soul of warriors, the land and water, the art of the East, and the beauty of the East.
Mori Junichi said that Japan in the First World War (1914-1918), due to military needs and other factors, the economy showed abnormal development, when the end of the First World War, Japan broke out the economic crisis of 1918, although the government and opposition efforts to make adjustments, so that the situation rebounded slightly the following year.
But in the spring of 1920, the Japanese economy fell into a new economic crisis, and the Japanese economy fell into a decade-long depression.
Mori explains that during periods of depression and social upheaval, Japanese society generally had a high expectation of "national strength, national strength, and wealth," and that even if it was a nude work, the male body, which favored the expression of power, female body creation, was extremely unpopular at the time.
However, Huang Tu-shui's "Mannoshui" has broken through the eyes of the public, and the naked woman with no visible face has been able to break through the social atmosphere and gain the favor of the judges, which shows that the work's power and connotation are solid, and it is only possible that it will rise to prominence.
As an alumnus of Tokyo University of the Arts, Mori felt the progress of Huang Tu Shui ’ s works in different periods, and admired Huang Tu Shui ’ s talent and hard learning spirit.
Mori Chun-yi said that the restoration process of "Mannu" two major challenges, one to remove the dust and dirt accumulated in the past 50 years, and the second to repair the ink-spilled statue's privacy.
Those accumulated dirt, not the general surface can be cleaned, but to remove a lot of organic matter that has been deep into the marble gap, quite troublesome, he even put the ink, dripping in the simulated hand model to observe the diffusion, to help "manna" find a chance of spring.
Mori Chun-yi ’ s “Buffalo Portrait ” and“ Girl ’ s Chest ” works after the restoration of Huangtuishui are very familiar with the style and characteristics of Huangtuishui in different eras.
Mori Chun-yi pointed out that the marble carving "Chestnut" is only a commercial building material grade stone, the internal impurities, not the sculptor's choice, than last year's "Chestnut Girl", lower grade, resulting in the current "Chestnut" protection of "Chestnut water", congenital shortage (such as stone) and later out-of-tune (ink into the crystal for too long), it is difficult to be physically removed. Repair work, multiplying the difficulty.
Sen Chun 's dream haunts senior students in Taiwan during the epidemic
It is understood that for more than half a year, the repair team has continuously tried various efforts for the removal of ink stains through the assistance of Italian repair experts and relevant professionals of the Department of Chemistry at National Taiwan University, but the results are limited.
Mori Junichi said that the repair team, even by injecting solvents in a vacuum, tried to penetrate the crystalline structure and gently remove the ink stains in this way, which is now much lighter than the original situation, but still can clearly see the ink traces.
As part of the cultural association ’ s 100th anniversary activities, the exhibition of related art works has been scheduled to start on December 18. During the exhibition, the works will be covered with ink in a reversible way first, and then continue to be processed.
"Huang Tushui must not have the heart to let everyone see the stains of naked women's private parts, whether Taiwan or Japan, such a viewing culture, is very close."
As a woman and mother, Lin Manli, chairman of the board, worked hard to rescue the yellow earth water.
Lin Man-li said with sadness that in 1915, Huang Tu-shui, who came from the cold gate, was recommended by Uchida Kakich, the governor of the government house, and Kumamoto Shigeyoshi, the principal of the Mandarin school, and other people. He studied wood carving with Takamura Koun (1852-1934) and Asakura Aragonite (1883-1964). He became the first Taiwanese student to study art in Japan. The painstaking.
In the performance of sculpture art, Huang Tushui's self-learning spirit is even more admirable.
In his early years in Taiwan, he carved a lot of wooden Buddha statues, to the Tokyo Art School, but also into the sculpture department, but the water does not set limits, he has a high self-ambition, learning pace.
In class, he used wood carving as a normal learning, and in the spare time, he taught himself stone carving.
Since the Western carving trend of that era, including Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), had spread in Japan, Huang Tishui had the opportunity to observe the information of stone carving art and observe the creative process of stone carvers.
Buddha statue, wood carving, Western stone carving, yellow earth water, self-taught art.
In the tight conditions, limited winding, can only choose the cheaper building grade stone, manna creation, about 1919, Huang Tu Shui is not only still a student in Japan, but also his mother Huang Shi Su the previous year.
The disease is contagious.
He returned to Taiwan to visit his mother, and soon organized a funeral for his mother. The funeral expenses, plus the travel expenses to and from Taiwan and Japan, were a heavy burden to the land and water.
After the return of the day, he created a sad creation, in the continuous experience of life and death, for example, parents and brothers died, the shadow of death, for him, like a shadow, he deeply understands the immortality of the world, and life is short, all the way, seems to be racing against time, so he strongly hopes to challenge the big works, use art to protect his classic. The fruits of artistic exploration leave even more for posterity the timelessness that he has walked through.
Yellow water can not afford pure white marble, to create "manna", the stone size required is large, the cost is higher, he can only choose with stripes of pale yellow stone, and is a building material grade, will be ready to create.
A penny, a penny, a second grade stone, not only in appearance, not good looking, the texture of this type of stone is also inconsistent, in the carving, more difficult to master than pure white marble, more time-consuming and laborious. The use of stone grain at the right time, skillfully translated according to the grain.
This is because he saw that the stone is like the inside of a shell, so he incorporated the concept of Nirvana in the Dharma into the shape of the shape, so that the naked woman ’ s hands hung on the shell shaped stone block, calm, calm and confident, the hair bun, extending from the neck to the back of the beautiful curve, half open his eyes, conveying the deep love. Meaning, the height of 153 cm marks the realistic beauty of the East, not the Western Venus.
The beauty of women, not only does not impose the high feminine charm of Western Venus, but also deliberately gives "Mannen Water" with a slightly heavy foot, to highlight the vulgar and friendly work of ordinary people, is the aesthetic of ordinary people, the left and right sides of the palm of the foot, so that the "Mannen Water" inside, showing more layers, vast and boundless, "second grade stone, creative. Not only does the work not hide its flaws, but it also shows a personal style and irreplaceable identity, and only when the slightly chubby Oriental woman in" Manna Water "has the chance to make Huang Tushui once again enter the imperial exhibition and win the crown.
However, the homeless wanderer, lonely and lonely, crying in the dark, he relies on creation, suffering from hunger and cold, healing pain, and more "manna" glory, ending sadness, with reverse thinking, transcending adversity, that kind of sadness, also in the "manna water", it is easy to read, like entering Mahler (Gustav Mahler 1860) 1911) in the world.
Death Overhead Solitary Watch Long Night Mahler Gavel, Funeral Song, Anti-Tragedy Yellow Water "Mannen" Welcome to Rebirth
Mahler ’ s life has been full of bad luck, death, and long years. Through music, he confided in his heart, and in the entangled atmosphere, he made a protest against the 51 years of his short life. In.
On the contrary, the yellow earth water, 35 years old due to blindness delayed medical treatment, caused peritonitis death, his fate is shorter, the rhythm of more hasty, but marble carving, time and effort, not fast, to the yellow earth stone in the age of 24 to 25 years old to create "manna", suffice to his vomiting heart and blood, really emperor, 26 years old let him win the laurel And...
With his precocious intellectual youth and bold and innovative contemporary vocabulary, he completely ignored the conservatism surrounding him, and chose the local girl who represented the oriental body, declaring his aesthetic views with the most frank and friendly naked body, and bringing out the Oriental height and the grand praise of human values.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Tu-shui was diligent and practical, and he used Western sculpture concepts and techniques to integrate the essence of Eastern aesthetics learned from the wood carving of Buddha statues in the early years, and devoted himself to the hard work of marble creation.
The naked face is far from the erotic hint of the wind, flowers and snow, and the pure posture of all things in heaven and earth, expressing Shen stable and introverted. That half-open eye is a window to visit the world, and it is not a Western artist at all. She is selfless and unlustful, passing on the great love of human beings, distributing soothing feelings, protecting all things in the universe, and celebrating eternity.
Huang Tushui's "Mannu Water", like the daughter of Taiwan, takes the cangs of half a century back to her mother's home, the poison of evil ink and the evil of human nature, making people speechless.
A total of 185 days of repair work has passed, and the bad ink is still hard to remove, but the good justice that the yellow earth water gave to the naked woman of "Mannen" still allows the work to expand its chest, not humble and not arrogant.
Taiwan's daughter brings Cangsang back to her mother's home, she doesn't feel inferior, and she turns back her enemies.
"Manna Water" is not only a pioneer in the history of Taiwanese art, even in the Japanese society of the 1920s, it is also a rare contemporary masterpiece. In every detail of the work, the soft beauty of the neck line under the bun, the delicate and sensitive back line, and the skin treatment that can be broken by blowing, are still attracting attention after 100 years. The Pen.
Today, 100 years after the creation of "Mannoshui", it can be reproduced in front of the eyes of the public. It is believed that it will inevitably bring a new and all-round impact to Taiwan society.
Huang Tu Shui "manna" in the end of the restoration, take a reversible treatment, temporarily cover the ink stains, so that the work presents a clean, clean new look, happy to meet the public.
This exhibition, which will be exhibited at the Beishi Art Museum from December 18 to April 21 next year, will then move to the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts to continue to share with the people of central and southern Taiwan, so that people can feel the proud achievements of Huang Shishui's creation of "Mannoshui" a hundred years ago, insight into human talent, and the vast selfless love.
Perhaps let the Yellow Water, which has been dead for 91 years, truly enter the earth for peace, let go of the sufferings, tribulations, troubles and distractions of the human world, and use the "half-opened eyes" of "Kandoo Water" to climb the "Niranpan" Buddhist landscape, and even sail into the realm of freedom in the clear sky!

Laser and ultrasound techniques have been tried to remove the ink, but chemical agents have been used to dilute the ink stains.

The restoration team, led by Mori Junichi, has used scientific comparisons and expertise from Italy and NTU's chemical lab to restore the statue.

The 185-day repair process has been a complex and challenging task, but the team has been able to restore the statue to its original condition.

The Little Mermaid statue has been vandalized many times since its installation, with incidents including protests and racist messages.

The Danish police have used online surveillance units to track digital crimes, which could potentially be used to prevent and investigate vandalism incidents.

Police Patrol in the Digital World
Cairo - Center Gate: Heba Adib Tuesday 11 July 2023, 01: 01 pm
Inside the Danish police station, a number of officers sit in front of computers with the famous “Counter Strike ” game on their screens, but it is not a rest room for them to entertain, but the office of an online surveillance unit whose officers track digital crimes.
The task of these officers, who surf through various social media platforms such as Twitch, Discord, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok in police uniforms, is to make the Internet safer for children and adolescents, focusing specifically on the detection of sexual predators and economic criminals.

The creation of the unit imposed itself last year amid an increase in online criminal activity in the quarantine phase linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cece Birkebeck, the unit ’ s director, told AFP: “Just as we see a police car roaming the streets, there is an element with a name that exists in the digital world. ”
Politigates Online Patroyer Unit
Miriam Mikaelsen, the founder of Digital Responsibility, has long sought to push the police to expand their activities into the online world.
“Young people don ’ t differentiate between the physical and digital worlds, except they see police on the streets every day, ” she says.
Since its creation in April 2022, Politiets Online Patrulje has launched more than 65 investigations.
“There are many cases of sexual harassment, attempts to bully youngsters, as well as extortion and theft strategies among players, ” Birkbeck said.
TikTok, TikTok and Facebook
Several times a month, Gibeh Rimmer Torop and his colleagues enter digital games, including FIFA and Fortnite.
With pseudonyms such as “Policeman 1 ” and“ Policeman 2, ” these agents play, watch, and make connections as if they were present in a neighborhood.
“On Twitch, for example, we write ‘ Hello, we ’ re two cops playing the game, we need three chatbots to play with us, ’ ” says the 36-year-old.
They are now followed by 23,000 people on Twitch, 127,000 on TikTok, 10,000 on Facebook and 6,000 on Instagram.
Most prominently, police are exploring the labyrinths of social networks to communicate with their users and conduct investigations into their actual identities, rarely under pseudonyms.
“We participate in a Facebook group and point out that we are police and tell the users of the page not to hesitate to ask us questions, ” Torop said.
He says that things often go well.
In more than a year, the 10 members of the unit collected about 5,200 pieces of information.
Separate hobby
The policeman, a father of a family, runs an esports club in his spare time with mostly marginalized teenagers.
This work is a hobby separate from his professional activity and allows him to identify the interests of this age group.
All six participants who were present at one of the sessions follow the activities of the police officers without interacting with them.
Torop believes that the work of the unit, which is funded each year, should be long-term.
“I don ’ t think all the problems with digital violence can be solved with a similar unit, ” says Miriam Mikaelson,“ but just 10, 15, 20 people getting help that they don ’ t get without being alone is a step that makes a difference. ”
Another member of the unit, Mikkel Olsen, believes that the work is constantly adapting to meet the demands of the internet in a progressive society where the police have a good reputation.
The latest polls show that 87% of Danes trust their police.

Authorities Step Up Vigilance Against this Concerning Trend

Ramanagara: In an alarming recurrence, miscreants targeted the Vande Bharat Express once again as it journeyed from Mysuru to Chennai, with the incident taking place on the outskirts of Ramanagara town on Wednesday. According to reports, the train's window panes suffered damage due to the stone pelting, though an official statement from the Railways is yet to be released.

Following the incident, local authorities swiftly responded, dispatching the police to the scene for a thorough inquiry. A manhunt for the culprits responsible for this act of vandalism has been initiated.

This recent stone pelting episode marks the third such incident since the train's launch in November 2022. The previous attack, which occurred on July 8 at Vaderahalli in Ramanagara taluk, resulted in a case being registered at Mandya Railway Police Station.

In response to the growing concern over the stone pelting incidents on the Vande Bharat Express, the Railway Protection Force and Railway Police conducted an awareness programme in Ramanagara. Ironically, the awareness programme was being held on the same day that the incident took place.

The need for vigilance and stringent measures to prevent such incidents cannot be overstated. Besides the financial implications of repairing the damaged trains, the distress experienced by passengers during such attacks should not be underestimated.

Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, revealed disheartening figures in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, highlighting the toll stone pelting incidents have taken on the Indian Railways. Since 2019, these acts of vandalism have caused losses exceeding Rs. 55 lakh.

In response to this distressing situation, the authorities have undertaken resolute action, leading to the arrest of 151 individuals implicated in such attacks. Despite these unfortunate occurrences, the Minister reassured the public that there have been no reported incidents of passenger casualties, theft, or damage to passenger belongings.

The significant financial losses incurred due to stone pelting underscore the urgent need for preventive measures and enhanced security protocols to safeguard these modern trains and their passengers.

As authorities continue their efforts to apprehend the perpetrators, it becomes imperative to address the underlying causes behind such acts of vandalism. Community awareness programs, stricter law enforcement, and collaborative efforts between railway authorities and local communities can play a pivotal role in curbing this menace.

A reversible treatment was used to temporarily cover the ink stains for exhibition, and the restoration team was led by Junichi Mori, a Japanese
