A Sociological Study on the Rural level Project for the "Community Revitalization" through the Promotion of the Succession of Traditional Craft Works.

在这个研究项目中，我们将重点放在日本手工苎麻纺织品的生产上，日本福岛县昭和村，冲绳县石垣市宫古岛市。新泻县盐泽町、小井矢研究结果如下：1。在昭和，（向新泻）供应原长马的经验已被作为社区身份的象征，并向来自其他地区的人提供从长马种植到编织的技能传承计划，因为昭和是县内老龄化最快的社区。参与者的动机不仅包括狭义技能的习得，还包括对乡村生活的向往和对工业化、商业化生活方式的重新思考。起初，居民的接待并不那么友好，特别是来自大城市的参与者有时会对农村的规范和生活习惯感到困惑。但是，不断的沟通有助于促进相互的接受和理解。2. 在宫古、石垣、大屋、Shiozawa这些拥有Jofu（用Choma制成的最高质量的布）生产传统的地区，参与获得技能的项目的机会优先于居民，因为这些地区没有严重的人口不足问题。但传统技能的传承现在与个人生活方式的选择高度相关，这些项目实际上接受了许多来自其他领域的高动机参与者。参与的原因重叠，在昭和看到。每个地区现在都严重缺乏高技能的手工纺纱工人。在乔马纺织品生产中，现在似乎有必要使手工纺纱过程更加透明，而不是将其作为织造的无形前提。4. 在Myako，石垣，昭和，有一些年轻人表达了对“什么是传统？”的关注，这似乎为今天的技能传承奠定了新的基础。“传统定义”的话语对传统工艺作品传承的影响应该是我们项目的下一个研究课题。少

In this research project we focus on the handmade Choma (Ramie) Textile Production in Japan-Showa-mura, Fukushima Pref., Miyakojima-shi, Ishigaki-shi, Okinawa-Pref., Ojiya-shi, Shiozawa-machi, Niigata-Pref. The findings are : 1. In Showa, the experience of raw Choma supply (to Niigata) has been adopted as a symbol of the community identity, and the program for succession of the skills-from Choma growing to weaving-are offered to the people from other areas, because Showa is the fastest aging community in the Prefecture. The participants' motivations include not only the acquisition of the skills in the narrow sense, but also the yearning for the rural life and the rethinking of the industrialized and commercialized lifestyle. At first, residents' reception was not so friendly and the participants especially from big cities were sometimes bewildered by the rural norms, lifestyle habits. But the continual communications have contributed to the promotion of the mutual acceptance and under … More standing. 2. In Miyako, Ishigaki, Ojiya, Shiozawa that have the tradition of the Jofu (highest quality cloth made of Choma) Production, the opportunities to participate in the programs for the acquisition of the skills are given prior to residents, because there are no severity of the problem of under population in these areas. But the succession of the traditional skills is now highly related to the selection of the personal lifestyle, the programs in fact accept many participants with high motivations from other areas. The reasons of the participation overlap that are seen in Showa. 3. Each area now experiences severe lack of manual spinners with high skills. In Choma-textile production, now it seems to be necessary to make the manual spinning process more transparent, not to keep it as a invisible presupposition for the weaving. 4. In Myako, Ishigaki, Showa, there had seen expressed concern by some youth about "What is the Tradition?", and this seems to have built the today's renewed basis for the succession of the skills. The impact of the Discourses on the "Definition of the tradition" to the succession of the traditional crafts works should be the next research issue of our project. Less
