This article offers a brief summary of Cultural Heritage Online, a web portal that contains information and images illustrating Japan’s cultural heritage. What are some of the site’s recently-added features, which are aimed at increasing opportunities to find out about 96,000 objects and places of historical and cultural interest? The map navigation feature, for example, which allows users to search for works of art, sites of interest, and museums, in a particular location; and the Associative Search function, which has a Limit Search option that gives them the opportunity to narrow down results? What will be the effect of the new link that allows data to be added directly by participating museums and art galleries? The author takes readers through a sample search sequence and explains some of the possible options. He also considers ways in which this web portal might develop in the future: a database of artists will be shared online in due course, and an English version of the website is in preparation.
