In medieval Japanese society, which was decentralized and pluralistic, self-salvation was a social principle. Why were the samurai able to gradually take the lead in the local community as a new social group? In this paper, I would like to clarify the trends of the Kokujin and Dogo classes, which are the middle class of local communities in the Sanuki region in the late Middle Ages, and how they played a role in the formation of human ties and community order in local communities through gift-giving and cultural performing arts activities mediated by local temples and shrines.
