Terahertz imaging can be a powerful tool in conservation science for cultural heritages. In
this study, a new terahertz imaging system was applied to the Takamatsuzuka mural
painting of a blue dragon, and the condition of the plaster layer was diagnosed. As a result,
the locations where the plaster layer appears solid on the surface but in actuality may have
peeled off the underlying tuff stone were revealed and viewed as two-dimensional images.
