This paper aims to give a detailed description of how people maintain a relationship of ‘family’ in everyday life. It has been said for a long time that ‘family’ became diverse. Previous research has shown that ‘family’ is strongly interrelated with media. Among others, we focused on social media that have more and more users in recent years. We conducted in-depth interviews with young women who are active users of social media. Based on ideas of life history method, we used usage history of social media as a kind of life documents in interviews. This enabled us to give a detailed description of a few but diverse cases. A series of social media practices is described, using a “case example-code matrix” based on interview data. The interviewees handle various social media function skillfully and do interaction rituals towards their ‘family’ based on keitai literacy acquired while they were teenagers. Having these skills, they hold the strategic high ground in relationship with parent generation in social media. Their everyday lives are intricately-linked with a set of smartphone and social media. It is difficult to ignore social media, if we are to know how they maintain a relationship of ‘family’.

I hear that more than five hundred thousand women were widowed by the World War II in Japan, however only a thesis on them can't be found. Soldiers' deathes of that war were highly admired especially during the war, and they were deified as the national heroes in Yasukuni shrine. Therefore we call the war widows "Wives of Yasukuni", who were taken care of by nation then. Japan defeated in 1945, the war widows lost then honorable positions as well as compensations. In those days, they were still young; seventy percent under thirty five with two or more children on the average. Unfortunately, after the War, they were forced to make very hard livings especially till 1952 because of three factors mainly as follows. First, they were very short of the abilities to lead their independent lives. The second is the discrimination against the fatherless families "The same in an American Society", Lynn Caine told us in "WIDOW" in 1974. Last of all, they have borne the spiritual burden of the families of military personnel's who were thought to be responsible for the War. As things change, positions of the war-widows as between victims and helpers have changed under Japanese social circumstances.

The purpose of this study is the following; first is to examine the diet of the Prophet Muhammad (d. A.D. 632) in the cities of Mecca and Madma and also to examine food of the Bedouins in the early Islamic times. Second is to investigate how people of the Abbasids court regarded them in the 10^<th> century. The typical food eaten by the Prophet and his companions written in the Hadith (narrative relating deeds and utterances of the Prophet) included barley bread, milk-products, dates and a few vegetables, and occasional cooked dishes. As for the Bedouins, they used slaughtered cattle in order to gain honor and to humiliate enemy tribes. About three hundreds years later in the Abbasids dynasty, not only the celebrated al-khassa but also common people al-'amma began to despise Bedouins as eaters of reptiles such as snakes and lizards. In the Abbasid court's cookery book edited by al-WarrSq (in 10^<th> century) introduces five dishes of the Muhammad's food. These five dishes are also introduced in the books on dietetics written by al-Razi (d. A.D. 925 (935)) pointing out the attributes and faults of each food from point of view of bodily and spiritual well-being; the broth with vegetable (maraq) and potage with some grain and peas (harira) were for patients who had a fever or jaundice or cough or other such aliments. Dried meat (qadid) was eaten as a hors d'oeuvre with wine as digestive. Soup with crumbled bread (tharid) became famous nutritious dishes with many kinds of meat. Refined parched wheat or barley (sawiq) was eaten not only a nutritious in the hot season but also for preventing epidemic. There are two major reasons why these five dishes were introduced. The first is that for Muslims to follow the Prophet Muhammad's life and to eat his food has been considered to live up to the Muslim ideal. The second reason is that the Islamic medical scholarly ideas on dietetics had already been appreciated in the court.

It is difficult to categorize indie musicians’ activities as either a job or a hobby. Nowadays, indie musicians are rational and economically independent due to technological improvements in musical equipment and the Internet, which have individualized and de-localized musical activity. Indie musicians based in the “Livehouse” (a Japanese small music venue) sometimes judged as irrational actors, and Livehouse has been criticized as a closed space where performers are exploited by a ticket quota. However, such criticism is based on values of the market economy. My aim is to overcome the limitation of these biased criticism by analyzing the face-to-face interactions among people gathered in a Livehouse called “Heaven”. For that, the present paper demonstrates that even though this venue relies on market exchange to profit from customers, the core customers, known as “regulars”, use “Heaven” as a “hangout”. These regulars interact and mutually aid each other without using money and demonstrate their respect towards the music through money. Here we can find the bricolage of market exchange and gift exchange that transforms “Heaven” to a convivial place.

It has been a long-established tradition to scatter soybeans in the bean-scattering ceremony on setsubun, the eve of the beginning of spring. However, recently in Hokkaido district, people use peanuts instead of soybeans in this ceremony. In order to investigate changes of manners and customs followed on setsubun, a survey was made throughout Japan by means of questionnaires. All of respondents in Hokkaido and about 80% in Tohoku district were shown to scatter peanuts. In other districts many respondents used soybeans and those who chose peanuts were minor. A change from soybeans to peanuts was estimated to occur earlier in Hokkaido than in Tohoku. Reasons of this change were discussed in connection with the characteristic style of indoor living in Hokkaido. A new trend was found to spread from Kinki to neighboring districts. On setsubun, many people there eat in silence futomaki whole, big vinegared rice rolled in dried laver, looking toward a lucky direction of the year and praying for good luck. The custom to eat as many beans as one's age on this day was shown to prevail throughout the country, but that to decorate fish heads on sprays to be less popular.

This is a study on the modern Japanese festival. About 5 years ago, the author published a book named "Sociology of City Festival." In the book, he picked up the famous traditional dance, Awa-Odori which was originally a local dance in Tokushima-prefecture, and he discribed its transfering processes to the very far and large city, Tokyo. And then, he concluded that the Tokyo Awa-odori became one of typical models of modern Japanese city festivals. The author thinks that Awa-Odori has some special key characters comparing with the other Japanese traditional dances. The former is not only for the people who live in closed narrow areas (such as the old traditional city festivals), but also for all of the persons who are interested in with it. It can change themselves into various styles (Dancing styles, Instruments, Merodies, etc.) following the changes of ages. And it can offer dancing plesures for every persons (old and young, men and women, expert and beginner, etc.). So it looks mostly nice with the modern isolated and separated city people. And now, Tokyo Awa-Odori has begun to spread to many cities. It has now totally about 100 fellow groups in varios cities in Eastern Japan. And they are making various styles of networks each other. (Radial connection, mutual network, father-son-grandson relations, satelite style, etc.) The author is not so sure that such a collective action will directly connect to the future or not. But perhaps it may be true that it is reflecting one of modern life and culture in Japan.

The street protest action that crowded and was called "Sound demonstration (Sound Demo)" by young people during for several years came to be shown in the city in Japanese various places. The marcher dances the road, it walks, and this is a demonstration of the track where the sound speaker and machine parts for DJ were piled up to the head though this is a sink because of a large sound as for the dance music. This thesis pays attention to this sound demonstration that appeared in a Japanese society in recent years, and examines it as "Festival" or "Urban Festival". The sound demonstration starts sending the political expression in a festivity dimension. However, because it violates and disturbs the boundary of the festival and the demonstration, the police overreaction might be invited, and the boundary of the festival and the demonstration be made visible. However, intentional use of the festivity also gives birth also to the strategy that opposes the enclosure of such a festivity. That is, it is concluded that "Festivity as the strategy" is a device thought out to make the situation advantageous by reading the combat rule of demonstration that rules the scene of the action directly in a different way in this thesis.

This paper presents a case study analyzing Miyaza rituals in Ohmi, and discusses the process in which "tennou-jinji (天王神事)", Shinto rituals encompassing a type of Miyaza, and taboos imposed on the "tounin (頭人)", the person in charge of Jinji, continued to exist during the postwar rapid economic growth period. During the post-war period, Jinji did not change in response to new village lifestyles, while ancient features and customs were maintained. For example, Jinji rules still prohibit eating meat, which may be an anachronistic idea for people with modern eating habits. Although it is a common perception that rules for Jinji were strict in the past, current rules have actually become more restrictive. From the perspective of those involved in Jinji over the years, it is evident that they have experienced the contradictions of both change and continuity. Previous studies have indirectly discussed the outside impact of the rapid economic growth. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to suggest "postwar history as experience" as a new standpoint for more close observation of the delicate balance between local continuity and typical social change.

Nowadays, media frequently focuses on the expansion of poverty among youth in Japan. Usually the conclusion is that this happens because of the collapse of conventional bonds like with the family, local communities, etc. One of the solutions for this problem is to create an informal support association to substitute for conventional systems. This article's main focus is the practice of young people who are managing a "hip hop and street wear" shop at a provincial city. These persons create informal associations called "crew" based on their knowledge of the hip hop culture and by doing that they help each other. The members of the crews are united strongly in specific ways like tattoos. Besides crews, they create another community. Inside of this community, they visit their friend's shop and spend a lot of money. They usually do this practice mutually to circulate money. In previous studies like Hebdige (1979), they described youth subculture as resistance to the dominant culture. However, this paper will argue how some young people manage their life within society with using their subculture skill set.

This paper clarifies the location of the settlement, residential environment, local culture, and way of living of Taiwan people residing in the Nagura and Takeda settlements in Ishigaki Island of the Yaeyama Islands, from the perspectives of settlement, way of life, and community. Due to various historical factors, Ishigaki Island has witnessed the phenomena of village building, deserted villages, and village transferring. Further, depending on the generation, the location, size of the settlement and the number of settlements has changed drastically. How have the people of Taiwan who had migrated and come from outside the island in the early Showa period built their residential environments and thus inherited their ethnic identity in the environment described above? Through field surveys and using historical documents and materials, this paper explores the historical transitions and way of life in Ishigaki Island.

Since 2001, a characteristic ritual called Goran-shiki has been conducted at Tsuga-cho Ienaka, Tochigi City. Hard drinking and the food taboo on eggs are features of this ritual. Although Goran-shiki is relatively new, both the citizens of Ienaka city and visitors to it are accepting it as a tradition. We think that Goran-shiki acts as an identity symbol for people in Ienaka city. We analyzed the acceptance process and identified three points regarding this ritual.(1) Various people are involved in the management of Goran-shiki, for example, the chief priest of a Shinto shrine, event consultants, and the kagura preservation meeting. Moreover, Goran-shiki is conducted only after considering various expectations.(2) In spite of the various expectations from it, Goran-shiki has been strongly appealing for a food taboo on eggs. This phenomenon is the paradoxical effect of a ritual that strongly appeals to people’s traditional consciousness.(3) Goran-shiki is based on the Nikko-zeme constitution at the Rinno-ji temple. The management introduced the unique feature of forbidding the eating of eggs in this ritual. This characteristic has made Goran-shiki an accepted ritual.

In order to accomplish this purpose, we had the intensive interviews with them. Subsequently we discovered the following. In nineteen fifties or sixties, the many adolescent have been to the big cities after graduated at the junior high school. They have formed the group and rode in the job train for Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya (Syudan-syusyoku). They were apprenticed to the shops and factories. They have lived in the dormitories and have been working hard all day within the apprenticeship period. Because of a poor wage and few vacations, many workers quitted immediately. After acquired skills a few own shops and run factories now. Because of serving strict masters and taking good fortunes they are working as the top management of shops and factories. In nowadays they are the winners of the Syudan-syusyoku generation. Therefore we could trace the success story of the Syudan-syusyoku generation.

This paper aims to consider the tradition of festival music, focusing on its inheritance. The festival music at the Kishiwada Danjiri Festival held in Osaka was noted to be deteriorated, which has been an issue. A Japanese shinobue flutist, the person who raised this issue, has been working on “improvement activities” that comprise 1) identification of the music, 2) transcription of the music, 3) revival of old sound sources, and 4) enlightenment of children about the music. By analyzing these activities, this paper clarifies how the tradition of festival music became separated from the local apprentice system as it transformed from “Orality” to “Literacy.” This paper analyzes how “literacy” enables access to festival music of the early days and generates conflicts.

In this paper I will focus on the urban festival, Kokura Gion Daiko, in the kokurakita-ku Kitakuysyu-city Fukuoka-prefecture and consider the transient fashions or Fuzoku created by young people and their awareness on the festival. This festival is organized by Yasaka shrine, Chonai, Hozonshinkokai (the society for the preservation and promotion of Kokura Gion Daiko), enterprises and volunteer groups. Volunteer groups in particular have had an increasing role and responsibility in this festival. Members of volunteer groups from connections beyond those based on territory, kinship or a combination of territory and kinship. Why are volunteer groups accepted by the community as a whole, despite their recent appearance? Those groups welcome those young people who, out of their self consciousness and/or defiance toward adults, may have once left their neighborhood Chonai groups, but who later return to take part in the festival. Volunteer groups make it possible for diverse groups of people including residents of other areas to partipate in the festival.
