The Gion Festival (Gion Matsuri) of Kyoto in the modern society consists of the procession of portable shrines (the Sacred Carriages) of Yasaka Shrine and the grand procession of Yamaboko (the floats). In this paper, I intend to reconsider the spirit of the leaders in the downtown area that is called Yamabokocho. These leaders are five people of four areas, which are the chief director of Kankoboko, two directors of Minami Kannon-yama (Mukadeyacho), the chief director of Arare Tenjin-yama (Tenjinyamcho), and the director of Kikusui-boko. The concept 'spirit' (the Japanese 'Kokoroiki') corresponds to 'ethos', or 'habitus' that has been making full use in sociology of Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu. This paper is the ethonographic research of the downtown area (Yamabokocho) of The Gion Festival. I intend to analyse the conversations of the leaders and the documents of the downtown area.
