Many researchers point out that after the World War II,Japanese voting behavior has changed from collective and particularistic social relationship (especially Buraku Suisen system) to individual and universal one. This view is a common interpretation in sociology and political science. But it is not yet sufficiently verified by the scientific and objective methods in both sciences. There fore in this article, I will' take the case of a village in Tottori prefecture and verify the changing processes of the Buraku Suisen system in voting behavior, based on a data of candidates 'poll and presumptive voters' number. And it will then be testified in the Buraku (neighborhood community) and the district of the primary school how far the voters support thier (Buraku's) candidate. My findings are as follows. After the war, in the Buraku level, having a candidate or not, all voters persistently tend to follw the Buraku Suisen system, and in the district of the primary school level, the voters don't support any candidates beyond their districts. In short, the Burakus don't tend to lose its political autonomy, and the district of the primary school is constantly autonomous in voting behavior.
