The article reports on the situation where the traditional girls' festival in Yanagawa has been reconstructed as a "tourism girls' festival" by the administrative tourism promotion policies and consequently is contributing to the transmission of the women's traditional handcrafts art and organizing their 'community of practice' by J.Lave and E.Wenger sheds light on the processes of gradual participation that enable the participants to acquire knowledge and skill, together with their identity of being members of the community. In this paper we indent to introduce instances of Sagemon decoration of house holds during first Seasonal festival, Sagemon-making sessions and workshops at women's clubs, work centeres for the elder, as well as to describe in overall terms the actual circumstances of events and handcrafts practice of local women who support and activate the transmission process of traditional events and handcrafts art. In resent years, the administrative approach to invite tourists and create related industries through the use of regional folk culture and traditional events in tourism, as a part fo their regional promotion policies, has become a national phenomenon. One example of such an approach is the tourism business of Girls' Festival on March 3 - a traditional girls' first seasonal festival held throughout Kyushu with the advent of the spring tourism season. Yanagawa City of Fukuoka Prefecture (in the Kyushu district) also participates in this festival ; however, it has a unique feature of hanging numerous small, beautiful handicrafts called Sagemon made from silk crepe (small-sized handmade stuffed figures, depicting animals and plants) on both the sides of the traditional girls' festival dools. Sagemons, decorated along with the girls' festival dolls, are time-honored craft tradition carried on in the local community, handcraftedby mothers and grandmothers of girls who are of the age to celebrate their first seasonal festival, wishing them happiness and sound growth. Today, the family celebration of Yanagawa has opened up to a wider region and to tourists through the use of the Yanagawa girls' festival and the Sagemons displayed in that festival which have both been passed on as local life ritual. Moreover, this change has resulted in an increased interest and demand for the Sagemons made by the local women.

福岡県柳川地域のひな祭り行事の際、雛人形の両側にさげられる吊るし飾り「さげもん」(毬とちりめん細工)は、自作の贈答品としてだけでなく趣味の手芸品、土産品として一年を通して制作されている。近年、さげもんが観光資源に活用され、またその需要と供給の地域的流通システムが形成されることで、中高年女性を中心に様々な目的や技術をともなう制作活動がさらに活発化し、民俗技術の持続にもつながっていた。柳川のさげもんの民俗技術はその観光資源化と多様な制作グループの自主的活動を通じて、地域社会の活性と伝統の再創造および中高年期の女性の生活の質の向上に積極的な役割を果たしていることが明らかになった。

'Kansei' is a Japanese word covering a very broad range of meanings and connotations, such as delicacy in sensitivity, fine sensibility, sensitiveness, sensitivity etc. It plays a crucial role as we try to live a full life with good QOL. Though its importance has been pointed out, 'kansei' has thus far, never become a major subject of extensive academic research. Recently, however, many researchers have been kicked off in Japan by higher education institutions and governmental research projects, in order to scientifically clarify what 'kansei' really is. In addition, results of this research are intended to be put into use, to enhance the quality of life and further industrial development. Behind this increasing interest in 'kansei' lies the people's quest for new ways to perceive society, technology and civilization, as they live in the current post-modern society, which follows the end of the industrial society. In this study, the author provides a brief review of the concepts of 'kansei', and the senses as formulated by earlier 'kansei' researches conducted by Japan's academic and industrial worlds, as well as of their applications to some specific cases in people's lives. Furthermore, based on this review, the author provides preliminary reconsideration to the basic indices employed in earlier 'kansei' researches, which are collaborations between the industrial and academic worlds, between natural sciences and humanities, or interdisciplinary. Specifically, those basic indices include, among others: 1. structure, 2. value, 3. abilities, 4. physical aspects and 5. communality.
