The purpose of this research is to explain the structure of the physical movements of the traditional dance “Hotoke-mai” in Japan, where the Buddha appears. I also examine the dramatics and stage effects with the idea of Raigo, where Bodhisattvas appear and lead the people into the paradise.I have analyzed Hotoke-mai by watching the movements on video, researching many dancing books, guidance documents and the support base of festivals. I chose to study the dance in the following temples and a shrine : Matsunoo temple in Maizuru city, Kyoto Prefecture, Itosaki temple in Fukui city, Fukui Prefecture and Oguni shrine in Mori town, Syuchi-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture.I have analyzed their movements from the following viewpoints. I. Moving sequences, poses and patterns during the routine. 2. The percentages of movements and poses. 3. The line of physical movements on the moving sequences. 4. The formation of the dancer's hands. 5. The formation changes of all the dancers. 6. The dynamics of the music frequencies and the movements.The results of the three Hotoke-mai studied are as follows.As for the festival of Matsunoo, which celebrates the birth of Shaka-Nyorai-identical with the Buddha-, the key word concerned with “death” is extracted. They make hand formations that means, Amida-Nyorai-who preaches the teachings-leading into the paradise. As for the change where 6 dancers point in 8 different directions, it suggest the symbol of 8 leafs Mandala with Dainichi-Nyorai-who preaches the truth through all creation-staying in the center. In other words, Buddhas who appeared for Hotoke-mai are the embodiment of the doctrine.In Itosaki, there is an old legend. People found a sculpture of the thousand armed Kannon in the sea, and it was niched in the temple. Then, some Bodhisa ttvas-identical to Buddhas who seek to save all living beings-and celestial maidens appeared and danced in the sky. The bounding steps of the dance and the formation that slowly turns clockwise, express floatingness in the sky. It expresses the force running through the sky and the joy of the 8 dancers that are gathered in the center.Hotoke-mai of Oguni is one of 12 Bugaku in the shrine festival. The first half are the sacred dances of “God's children”, the latter half are the civil dances of the adult men. Hotoke-mai is one of the sacred dances. It includes, the poses that are metaphors of sex organs, the movements that point at the heaven and earth, the formation of the left turn, the going straight and returning back to the formation, and the gold and silver disk adornments.The structures that are common to the three Hotoke-mai are the following points.The dancers do some movements that expression the Buddha's World. They express the Buddha's symbolic figures with their hands and the sacred centripetal force with their formation. And, it shows the audience the ways in which dancers walk into the stage from the dressing room, that is known as the religious action of “Gyo-do”.Performing the above, a scene of “Buddhas appear on the stage, they dance and then leave”. This is the same as the belief of Raigo, where various Buddhas go to and from the paradise and the human world. I consider the above the productions an extraordinary encounter of Buddhas and humans by portrayed by dancers, where by human bodies are a medium to setup the stage for an amazing festival.

<p> 日本の夏の風物詩である盆踊りは、平安時代に起源をもつともいわれ、元来、民衆の信仰を体現したものだった。現代では、伝統様式が保たれているもの以外にも、町内のイベントや生涯教育・健康推進活動、海外でのフェスティバル等、様々な形で行われている。このような多様性を有する日本の身体文化を、グローバル教育に活用した事例を報告したい。</p><p> 大学の全学生が履修可能な保健体育科目として、盆踊りを主題にした実技「Bon Dance」を実施している。主たる使用言語は英語とし、浴衣を着用して行う。留学生と日本人学生(帰国子女を含む)が混在する状況であり、個々の感じ方・考え方に齟齬が生まれやすい。しかしそのことが、かえって相互に新たな気づきをもたらしていると感じる。本報告を通して、異なる背景をもつ学生たちが、それぞれの視点を持ちつつ、固有の身体文化を共有し理解することの意義を考えてみたい。</p>

<p> 日本では、盆の時期に地域性の強い舞踊、いわゆる盆踊りが踊られてきた。それは現代社会で夏の風物詩ともなり、祖霊信仰にかかわる儀礼的意味合いを受け継ぐものもあれば、コミュニティの交流や娯楽の一環、心身の健康に寄与する身体活動として注目される事例等も見受けられる。また日本以外の国で、日系人を中心に愛好されたり、現地で独自の発展をとげたりした事例も存在する。このように多様性を有するようになった盆踊りは、江戸期においてはどのような様相をみせていたのだろうか。江戸の地では、大きな祭礼が催される一方で、盆踊りの開催記録が少ない。本研究では、文書や資料等の諸記録をもとに、江戸でおこなわれていた盆踊りの実態を探る。そして、江戸の盆踊りが現代に受け継がれてきた事例をとりあげ、現代社会における盆踊りの伝承意義を考察したい。</p>
