In this study, I examine a new direction for research on festival offerings. Previous studies have identified offerings as a key element in Japanese festivals, and have analyzed their impact on food culture and faith in the region. However, the analysis method of the offerings had not been shared in previous studies. In this study, how the elements of culture and religion did affect the characteristics of the offerings, and then analyzed using a new analysis method.I found local ingredients used in offerings were heavily affected by regional agricultural and fishery concerns. In addition,the type of food used in an offering and food equipment its presentation varied depending on the hierarchical position of the god to whom the offering was made, in case of NUKISAKI and YAHIKO shrines. Based on these findings, future research on festival offerings should pay specific attention to construction in order to provide a new perspective on their local cultural significance.
