Dans cette étude, nous traitons de la construction, des caracté‐ristiques et de la réification du patrimoine architectural japonais dans le cadre de la théorie de la mondialisation. Nous analysons, dans ce contexte, la participation des sociétés japonaises à deux formes de production patrimoniale: la reconstruction de châteaux féodaux et la création de musées en plein air d'architecture rurale. En nous attachant surtout à l'aspect visuel et à l'interprétation contextuelle, nous montrons que le role joué par les sociétés dans la production et la réification du patrimoine Concorde avec les intérêts commerciaux et ceux de l'État pour ce qui est de l'exploitation symbolique de ce patrimoine comme expression d'une identité nationale conservatrice. Nous concluons que l'exemple du Japon illustre une forme de production patrimoniale caractéristique de la plupart des sociétés industrielles avancées. The paper addresses the construction, characteristics and commod‐ification of Japanese architectural heritage in the framework of globalization theory. In this context, the analysis examines the involvement of Japanese corporations in two forms of heritage production: the reconstruction of feudal castles and the creation of outdoor museums of rural architecture. Focussing on the visual image and contextual interpretation of this heritage, the analysis shows that the corporate role in its production and commodification is consonant with corporate and state interests in the symbolic use of heritage as an expression of a conservative national identity. The analysis concludes that the Japanese case illustrates a pattern of heritage production characteristic of advanced industrial societies in general
