The country’s "national intangible cultural property" system, which started in the 1960s, has contributed to shamanic rituals and music by acknowledging their value. However, scholarship has not concretely examined this process. What elements of shamanism have been highlighted as cultural property? How has shamanism’s religious aspect been excluded? This paper shows how the intangible cultural property discourse on shamanism has highlighted shamanism's artistic nature and communal aspect as Korean culture while negatively regarding its fortune-telling function and rituals, as well as the religious beliefs shared by mudan (shamans) and followers, as having little value. This exclusion of shamanism’s religious aspect shows its history of generally being removed from the category of religion and having only its cultural aspect tolerated.
