This project attempts to analyze the theoretical and applicable potential of Cultural Sociology, by scrutinizing mnemonic forms of "Ako Vendetta" (1701-1702). We have worked on the hypothesis that both Incident memories are constructed within traditional cultural frameworks and they are transformed into contemporary new cultural events and narratives in order to express the identity of a particular group or individual. Our research results are as follows.1. The existence of a dual relationship between memory and culture, and the types of mnemonic phenomena from theoretical perspective.2. The outstanding number of Kabuki performances of "Chushingura" from the end of the Meiji era through into the Taisho era seems to be related to the exalting nationalism and the emergent national culture.3. The Incident memories in the Edo era, to a considerable extent, had been constructed within the "Samurai honor culture" framework.4. The "Aka Gishi Festival", the "Counter-Memory at Kira district" and the "Chushingura Summit" will be regarded as today's cultural utilizations of the Incident memories.5. We have analysed the narratives of the Incident and the appearances as public entertainment of historical events through intensive field works in Kyoto and Nagano.6. We have analyzed the cults and rituals in relation to Gishi memories by comparing those in Sengakuji, Oishijinjya and Choushiduka. From the above findings, it will be suggested that we could verify the dualism hypothesis of memory and culture.

本项目试图通过仔细研究“Ako Vendetta”(1701-1702)的助记形式，来分析文化社会学的理论和应用潜力。我们的假设是，这两个事件记忆都是在传统文化框架内构建的，它们被转化为当代新的文化事件和叙事，以表达特定群体或个人的身份。主要研究成果如下：1.研究成果。从理论上分析了记忆与文化的双重关系的存在，以及助记现象的类型。从明治末期到大正时代，《初心仓》歌舞伎演出数量之多，似乎与当时高涨的民族主义和新兴的民族文化有关。江户时代的事变记忆，在很大程度上是在“武士荣誉文化”的框架内建构起来的。“AKA GISHI节日”、“基拉地区的反记忆”和“楚辛古拉峰会”将被视为今天对该事件纪念品的文化利用。我们通过在京都和长野的深入实地考察，分析了事件的叙述和作为公共娱乐的历史事件的表象。我们通过比较星久寺、冲之家和周士道的祭祀和仪式，分析了与吉氏记忆有关的祭祀和仪式。从以上研究结果可以看出，我们可以验证记忆和文化的二元论假说。
