In recent years, many performances at various festivals can be seen in local events or exhibitions in Japan which deviate from the original context. This phenomenon is considered as one kind of "folklorism" in which a "staging" can be recognized: original performances are arranged or choreographed specifically for exhibitions. While the research on "staging" has focused on folkloric performing arts (dances and music like Kagura, Ta-asobi, Ennen, etc.), there are very few studies about the other types of festival performances. These, however, have been actually represented in exhibitions. This article, based on my fieldwork, will examine the process of the "staging" of the float (Yatai) procession of Mori no Matsuri (Mori Festival) which participated in Sunpujo Natsu matsuri-Festa Shizuoka in 1999, and its subsequent influence on the original performance. I will propose an alternative perspective in the study of "staging" as a result of my examination.
