This text seeks to provide an overview of three aspects that we consider important in the construction of what is now the Taller de Documentos Gráficos (TDG) of the CNCPC del INAH. First, a historical overview is developed on the implementation of traditional Japanese techniques for the conservation of works on paper in the West, and the way in which a growing dissemination was generated through training courses formed from the mutual interest of Japanese and international agencies. Based on the above, the second part describes the circumstances in which the TDG gradually approached the knowledge of Japanese techniques and handling of materials, in the voice of the restorer Marie Vander Meeren, who was part of this long process and who, for the first time, leaves a written testimony of her experiences. To close, we expose the process of consolidation of institutional ties and the work of an international team that promoted the dissemination. The TDG has being the bridge between these two, Japanese conservation techniques and their adaptation, to contribute to the training of conservators in this region for more than three decades for their study, application, adaptation and teaching.
