Nakae Chomin is well known for translating Jean Jacques Rousseau's Du contrat social into classical Chinese. He was a scholar of French thought, a statesman, and a businessman in his later years. At the end of his life, Nakae announced that he was dying of cancer. His final works, Ichinen yu han and Zoku Ichinen yu han were presented as posthumous documents, thought they were published while he was still alive. These books were read by many people, and clearly demonstrated his atheistic and materialistic ideas about life and death. His thought attracted a great deal of attention, and there was a great deal of speculation as to whether or not Nakae's actual manner of dying would conform to his stated principles. Nakae's funeral was held as "a farewell ceremony" without religious content. It is known as the first "kokubetu-shik? to have been held in Japan. Despite the protests of those close to him, Nakae insisted that his funeral be held without religious ceremony. Some at the time described his request as selfish. In the Meiji era, with some exceptions, people generally did not accept Nakae's ideas about the funeral ceremony. However, in the 1970s some thinkers, particularly those concerned with medical issues, began to express the opinion that one's funeral is a final expression of one's life. These ideas have become more publically accepted in the last decade.

Drawing on the results of a survey of Jizo worship which was conducted in the Umeda district of Osaka from 1986 to 1988, this article considers the relationship of the urbanization after World War II with a transition in the custom of worshipping Stone-Buddhas. Especially after the International Exposition at Osaka in 1970, the development of residential areas in the surburbs of Osaka added to the Umeda district the character of an urban-terminal area, and weakened the character of the living space. Consequently, the character of Jizos in the Umeda district has also changed, from that of gods which guard the inhabitants of the area they occupy, to that of gods which confer a benefit on the believers visiting their shrines.

本研究では、日本における戦争死者慰霊の第三者関与と世代間継承の問題を、海外の事例も踏まえながら比較検討した。新たな慰霊活動や慰霊巡拝の創出・開拓といった契機や、時間的推移における慰霊活動の維持等において、死者との直接的関係を持たない宗教的・世俗的エージェントの果たす役割の重要性が確認された。同時に世代間継承における意味変容のあり方がその後の展開に大きく作用することも実証的に明らかとなった。

In order to investigate in detail, changes in funeral custom in the urban area, I shall analyze the memoirs of a funeral director, and the annals of a funeral company and two associations of funeral directors. In these materials, it is repeatedly stated that funeral activities are a public affair, and that funeral customs ought to become more rational. The new ways of the funeral business, involving advertisements, price lists of funerals, and the corralling of clients, were derived for the purposes of rationalizing funeral business and lowering funeral costs. However, in spite of such aims, a decrease in funeral cost was not achieved, and in fact, what resulted was a rise in the total cost of funerals. Small-scale funeral parlors in local areas developed into nationwide organizations by forming special contracts with a number of other companies. In post-war Japan, the regionally-based funeral association (soushiki-kumi), gave way to the funeral company hired by the bereaved. In this way, the general populace became free from works polluted by death. At the same time, they came to lose the knowledge they had about funerals, and became unable to hold funerals without the funeral company. It was through such a process that the funeral became a private practice.

現代の葬儀の変遷については、整理を進めている国立歴史民俗博物館蔵の表現文化社旧蔵の葬儀写真を順調にデジタル化を進め、約35000のポジフィルムをデジタル化をおこなった。昨年度、さらに追加の資料が発見寄贈されたので、デジタル化を進めるための情報整理を行っている。また近親者のいない人の生前契約制度等の調査は、それを実施している横須賀市の具体的な調査を行った。一定の所得水準以下の人だけを対象としていたが、それ以上の人々も希望があり、死としては対応を迫られていることがわかった。また相模原市や千葉市などでも行政による対応がなされ、千葉市の場合は民間業者との連携が行われていることがわかった。また京都や大阪での葬送儀礼や墓の変容については、その歴史的展開の相違から東京という政治的中心とは異なる対応をとってきていることが調査によって判明した。そこでその研究成果について、民間の文化団体と協力して「上方で考える葬儀と墓~近現代を中心に」というテーマで、大阪天王寺区の應典院を会場にでシンポジウムを開催した。当日は人々の関心も高く、約150名ほどが集まり会場は立ち見が出るほど盛況であった。また3月には、葬儀の近代化によって湯灌などの葬儀技術や情報が東アジアに影響をおよぼし、生者と死者の共同性に影響を与えていることを踏まえ、東南アジアの多民族国家における葬儀と日本の影響を把握するため、マレーシアの葬祭業者や墓園業者などの調査を行い、またマレーシア死生学協会と共催で国際研究集会「葬送文化の変容に関する国際比較―日本とマレーシアを中心に―」を開催し、両国のおける死の概念や葬儀産業の役割、専門家教育などについて検討を行った。

沖縄から本土への移住者の文化習慣の変化と、沖縄で進行しつつある本土的な文化慣習が普及する変化(「本土化」)とを比較することで、現在の沖縄で起きている変化は、単に本土の文化慣習が沖縄に移入しているわけではなく、それに先だって、まず本土へ移住した沖縄系移住者が、自らの文化慣習を本土に適応させて新たな形を作り出すということがあり(「沖縄化」)、それが再び沖縄に移入されるという形で、文化変容が起きていることが明らかになった。
