MCHS - The NCR Archive & Photos::A National Treasure As we explore, we become more and more aware that it is indeed a national treasure. We knew when we assumed management that it was one of the finest corporate collections in the nation, but even we, who have a love of the stuff of history, continue to be amazed at the breadth and depth of the Archive. However much the story of the Company is a part of our local story, its contribution to the nation and the world reached far beyond the bounds of the Miami Valley. www.daytonhistory.org /nat_treasure.htm

The Silk Road: Destinations - Japan Todaiji Temple, located in Nara and constructed in the year 752 AD, is famed for its image of the Great Buddha, which is considered a national treasure by the Japanese and is the largest bronze statue in the world. The city of Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, is considered the cradle of Japanese culture and is abundant in Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. But goods and travellers from The Silk Road certainly made their way here and Buddhism was perhaps one of the most influential imports brought to Japan along the old trade route. www.silkroad-hotels.com /destinations/japan.html

Boxoffice Magazine [National Treasure] "National Treasure" wants to be "Raiders of the Lost Ark" set in the milieu of Revolutionary war sites and artifacts. Whoever finds the treasure, however, will have to get the map first -- and the map is on the flip side of the Declaration of Independence... Nic Cage plays the latest in a long line of obsessive treasure hunters who's determined to find the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, seized from the Holy Land during the Crusades and somehow migrated to the 18th Century American Colonies. www.boxoffice.com /scripts/dvd.asp?where=ID&terms=6456

CAEA - Julie Christ Oakes The idea was that the treasures deemed most reflective of Japan's Imperial essence would be enshrined behind the walls of the national museums and used as models in the schools, ready for figurative consumption; once the new design ideas permeated the handicraft industries, then literal consumption would follow. Using modern Japan and its national treasure system as a case study, this paper aims to explore the commodification of art, in particular the interplay between figurative and literal consumption. As mentioned earlier, the national treasure system centered on the commodification of objects that were never supposed to be traded. caea.uchicago.edu /ac_abstracts/05/oakes.htm

The Japan Times Online "National Treasure" is certainly the most "blah" film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer in a long time, but given how in-your-face loud and stupid most of his films are, that's probably a compliment. "National Treasure" finds super-producer Bruckheimer again turning to his favorite leading man, Nicolas Cage, who saw his action-film career take off after working with Bruckheimer on "The Rock" and "Con Air." After the duo's stupefying "Gone in 60 Seconds," though, it seemed like the partnership had hit its limit. Gates goes to Philadelphia, where he tries to convince Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger) at the National Archives that the Declaration is actually a secret treasure map, and she just looks at him like he's off his meds. www.japantimes.com /cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?ff20050309a3.htm

Julian's Blog: MOVIES: National Treasure The thing about National Treasure is that it just reminds you so much of Indiana Jones and more recently of The Da Vinci Code that you can't read a review without hearing those referenes. Having said all that, National Treasure is a '2nd week higher than expected box office' film. It's going to attract an initially good opening week's audience and because it is fun and better than expected*, the word will spread to those hesitant to see it and you'll find they will see the film in week 2 of opening. julianyap.blogspot.com /2004/12/movies-national-treasure.html

Ninja The current grandmaster of virtually all of the independent ninjutsu schools is Hatsumi Masaaki, who is listed as a living national treasure of Japan. Most prostitutes in medieval Japan were in brothels and few would take their chance with a freelance prostitute; in many places, it was illegal to do so. His rise to the power from a seemingly simple peasant to the de-facto ruler of Japan is unprecedented even in the long history of Japan. www.asinah.net /articles/content/n/ni/ninja.html

WEBmikey: National Treasure : 3 of 5 I'm sure you know, but the story is about a huge treasure that passed from civilization to civilization and eventually ended up in the care of the Order of Freemasons, which most of our founding fathers were. So, Ben Franklin and the rest left clues to the treasure's location, starting with a code on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Normally that would bother me, but the plot of chasing one clue after another is so exciting that it didn't matter (even though the love story is kind of tacked on, and people are really reduced to stereotypical "geek" and "bad guy"). www.webmikey.com /2004/11/national-treasure-3-of-5.htm
