FOLKLORISTIC RESEARCH ON FORMS OF SYMBOLS FOR FESTIVALS

京都北部的彩灯舞日本国立历史博物馆收藏的文件中有一页是《长谷八幡古彩灯舞》的图片，这是京都北部彩灯舞的插图。灯笼上有各种不同的图案，包括水磨、皇室和精英阶层使用的船只、牡丹、牌坊和神社、李子、山茶花、盆子里的柳树和花瓶。至于今天京都在bon期间上演的表演艺术，在京都西南部有rokusai，在京都东北部有阿弥陀佛nembutsu舞和日莲派daimoku舞。从近代早期的文献和插图资料来看，长谷八幡宫还表演了充满室町精神的彩灯舞。摘要鹿儿岛县萨摩地区民间娱乐分布的特色是鼓乐，其形式、舞蹈形式、舞者手持的旗帜、一年中的举行时间等方面都有复杂多样的范围。从广义上讲，这些鼓舞的形式和舞蹈形式与日本西部各地区的鼓舞相似。正如之前的研究人员所指出的，萨摩地区的鼓乐的一个特点是萨摩地区各个水和神社的鼓乐与鹿儿岛joka水和神社的奉献相吻合。精致的祈雨灯笼游行：以江户时代末期的水乡为例。从1852年6月3日开始，兵古津的27个町参加了沿斋国道举行的盛大的灯笼游行，他们在游行中祈祷下雨。本文着眼于这种精致的“tsukurimono”，它也可以被描述为光、色和声的盛会。
