Research study on transition of folk-culture and custom in small towns

本研究的目的是从“城乡实体的连续性”理论的观点出发，对城市情感、习俗的变迁和社会结构的变化进行接受。（石川县）八尾除了这两个城镇外，在图诺还进行了其他实地调查松户町的历史可以追溯到中世纪时期，是一个农村经济中心。在江户时代，市场经济以及植物油（natane-abura）和染料工作得到了发展。从昭和时代开始，该镇以独特的城市能力为基础再次发展，引领现代时尚和意识。一年一度的节日已经改变，因为成员已经成为工资工人。它是按照实践的模式进行的，因此古龙已经消失了，而矢尾则在富裕的城市经济基础上发展出了精致的城市情感，至今仍展示着活跃的节日景象。造成这些差异的因素在于城市化结构和现代化观念。

The aim of this study is an acceptance of urban sensibility, transition of custom and change of social structure from the view point of the theory 'continuity of rural and urban entity'Basic data has been collected through field works in small towns mainly Matsuto (Ishikawa-ken) , Yatsuo (Toyama-ken) .Besides these two towns, other field surveys have been conducted in Toono (Iwate-ken) , Kakunodate (Akita-ken) , Kiiyu(Gunma-ken) and 1-litoyoshi (Kuniamoto-ken) for comparative study.History of Matsuto town can be traced back to medieval era as an center of rural economy. At Edo era, the town has developped market economy as well as plant oil (natane-abura) and dye work.Since Syowa era, the town has again developped based on unique urban capacity, leading modem fasion and sense. Annual festival has been changed because the members have become salary workers. It is carried out according to practice model, so Furyu has been lost.Yatsuo, however, has developped elaborate urban sensibility basd on wealthy urban economy and still displays active festival spectacle. The factor of these differences lies in the structure of urbanization and perception of modenization.
