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)

 The five story pagoda, Mt. Haguro, Three Mountains of Dewa |
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
- P.S. Do you even know how to make galleries? Please do not spam talk pages with huge, disorganised images. NeoThe1 15:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

- Hey, this is pretty damn cool! NeoThe1 15:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
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,
- Hirosaki (Hirosaki Castle)
- Matsuyama Castle (Iyo)
- Grand Shrine of Ise
- Shuri Castle
- Kamakura (Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine); see also Engaku-ji, above
These are inaccurate,
- Asuka, Nara (Takamatsuzuka Kofun)
- Dewa Three Mountains
- Hon'ami Kōetsu
- Kano Eitoku
- Kotokuin
- Ogata Korin
- Sesshu
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)
- Why the hell not? It would ve a) very cool and b) very encyclopaedic...if you could substantiate it, like the list above. NeoThe1 15:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
