In this study, our objective was to describe a technique for the conservation of national treasures. Hanging scrolls are one of the national treasures of Japan. Hanging scrolls are a type of traditional Japanese ornamental art and include paintings and calligraphy. The conservation of hanging scrolls can be categorized into 10 processes. In this report, the effectiveness of the beating technique in the subsidiary lining process has been described. The beating procedures employed by an expert and non-expert were analyzed using a 3D motion capture system. The expert had a shorter working time and fewer numbers of beatings. The expert used both hands alternately to hasten the beating and the range of the beating position was wider than the actual paper, suggesting that the load was evenly loaded when finished.
