This research project has made clear how the traditional festivals have been managed in modern city of Japan. I made a special study of the theory of cultural reproduction and subculture in sociology. According to this theory inhabitants (ujikos of shrine and members of chonaikai) learn the skills of management (habitus or le sens pratique) from various activities that they are doing in the neighborhood association. They can run a festival committee office through practicing the skills of mangement (habitus). And then I attempted to investigate Osannomiya-taisai in Yokohama and Ikuta-sai in Kobe according to the principle of participant observation. I have collected materials of these traditonal festivals and arranged them in order by means of the theory of cultural reproduction and subculture.
