Summary:This paper reconsiders a history of "Taishu Engeki (Japanese vaudeville)" commercialized at the inside of common people's daily life. From the point of view of an acquisition of a skill, I have analyzed a formation mechanism of personal art of the highest rank. The impression for an audience to an excellent performance resembles the moment of "Ichigo Ichie (one time, one meeting)." But, the skill of a body technique which brings an agreeable impression to people is included in a range of the "tacit knowledge," and therefore it matures during an extended period while piling up learning and sudden comprehension through a large number of successive rehearsals. It is proved that there is no contradiction in such a process. In a rehearsal of each troupe of "Taishu Engeki," the learning method of a personal performance called "kuchidate iteaching by talking)," a kind of "wazagengo (craft language)," has been traditionally adopted. Free acting mprovisation becomes possible by mastering details of a skill useful for a body control immediately according to any circumstances. There we can see a possibility of the popular folk culture contrasting with the mass culture.

Summary: This paper is the result of participant observation of the musical and dance practice of “salsa”.Its origin is said to be in Cuba. By comparing it and historical documents, the semantic contrast of “folk” and “popular” is examined. The point is analyzed by dealing with the style of entertainments born in Cuba and developed in New York. First, the history of Cuban musical genres, for example son, danzón, mambo, cha-cha-chá etc., is investigated. Next, the popularity of a Cuban social dance style “casino” is considered. Orquesta Aragón from Cuba, one of famous traditional“charangas”, and Fania Records in New York, a company founded by Dominican musician Johnny Pacheco, are taken up as concrete cases. I pay attention to an identity called “Nuyorican”. There we can see a principle of glocalization.
