This paper examines two cases of fox possession (kitsunetsuki)in a mountain village in eastern Shiga Prefecture. The studyfocuses on the socio-religious and clinical context of the expressionof possession.In Japan, kitsunetsuki has long been one of the most familiarexpressions of indigenous "madness". Nevertheless, psychiatricresearch on the phenomenon, including those from folkloristicand religious perspectives, have been conducted only since the1960s. Hitherto, kitsunetsuki had been regarded as a vestige ofsuperstition.The first part of the paper deals with some methodologicalproblems encountered when spirit possession is defined as a"culture-bound syndrome". The features of this phenomenonchange according to various approaches used to understand it.In the second part, two cases are examined from psychiatricrecords. In the first a 18-year-old male became psychoticallyexcited after fatigue and a traffic accident. During his severeconfusion he manifested fox-like jumping actions. His familyregarded him as being possessed by local gods, and so left himunattended for a month. He was hospitalized and was incomplete remission after three months of treatment. Hisillness is diagnosed as "atypical psychosis" [MITSUDA 1979:121-124].In the second case a 34-year-old housewife (an aunt of themale in the first case), entered a psychiatric hospital as a resultof illness induced by conjugal discord. After undergoing a seriesof religious rituals to evict the fox that possessed her, she came tohear the voices of three foxes. Her illness is diagnosed as typical"invocations psychosis" [MORITA (森田) 1915: 286-287].These two cases reveal a discrepancy between traditionaltherapeutic ritual and modern psychiatric treatment.In the third part of this paper, Kitsunetsuki is re-examinedfrom the socio-religious viewpoint, based on interviews withvillagers. The reasons for the occurrence in this village ofsymptoms of fox possession are considered in their cultural andreligious contexts. Kitsunetsuki of this district can be traced backto folkloristic and religious lines. Among other phenomena thisis attested to by many folktales of foxes, public religious ritualspracticed by the folkpriest, occasional visits of a man of the"mountain religion" and his furious performances under godpossession,and the famous kyogen play, which contains themetamorphosis of fox, derived from the family temple of thevillagers. A major factor was acute social change in 1950s (e.g.,in the marriage system, in traditional forestry, etc.). Onetherapeutic religious cult which came to exert considerableinfluence over the traditional religious order of this village wasfinally absorbed into a large sect of Buddhism. Typically,spirit possession in this village seemed to be formed in accordancewith the god-possessing seances of this cult. From this standpointthe two cases examined expressed themselves through the symbolicrepresentation of "fox", when they reached psychologicalcrises. The other curious disease, "K village disease", is avariant product of this process. These acts of performance aremolded upon the complicated socio-cultural background;"possession complex" .The last part of this paper presents some complementaldiscussions on the expression of fox-possession. The folkloristicand "symptomatic" peculiarity of this mountainous district, andits tendency to combine with spirit possession, is analysed andcompared with that in the plain district. Two different types ofshamanism, spirit possession and ecstacy, are reconsidered,based on the analogy of schizophrenic symptoms and othermystical thoughts. The body in a state of possession and theassociated healing process are reviewed from theatrical andpolitical points of view.After examining kitsunetsuki as a performed expression, it ispointed out that the Westernized psychiatric nomenclature only

The aim of this paper is to discuss the meaning of the Assyrian royal lion hunt from the religious point of view and to speculate further how it was perceived in society. Some features of the hunt described in texts suggest possible associations between the Assyrian royal hunt and mythological themes. This leads us to speculate that the hunt was performed as a “cult-drama” based on Ninurta's myths in which the king's role as a victorious hunter conveys an association with the achievement of the divine hero. In Mesopotamia, there is evidence that a “hunting prohibition” existed concerning lions where the killing of the animal was strictly reserved for the king. In order to investigate the reason for such prohibition, the significance of the royal lion hunt in the context of its social function is examined Ninurta achieves his divine kingship by subduing monsters; in a similar way, the king's position in society is reinforced by slaying lions.Possible explanations for the specific function of the royal lion hunt as perceived in society are sought from the anthropological point of view. The lions were seen as embodying the essence of wild forces which are to be brought into society at a propitious time in order to ensure the continuity of life in the community. The king functions as the only figure who is capable of introducing such forces into society from the wild, since he occupies the place of conjunction between the wild and the civilised domains.

In this paper, the author deals with the theme of masculinity/feminity. Firstly, feminism and men's studies are reviewed. Secondly, the author interviews GID(Gender Identity Disorders) people. One of them says, "Whoever we are, the point is humanity." Thirdly, the author interviews a woman who loves actresses acting as man in the TAKARAZUKA. She says, "Actresses are more attractive than real men." They have, so to speak, the androgynious beauty. In conclusion, the point lies not in masculinity/feminity, but in humanity. Humanity is soul's beauty.

本研究では,ローマ字教育とローマ字入力の関係に注目した。150名の大学生が,漢字変換なしのローマ字テキスト入力において,どのようにローマ字入力を行うか,ローマ字入力の速度で比較した。その結果,ローマ字入力は,小学校で学ぶ「訓令式」が基礎になっていることがうかがえた。その結果,打鍵数の多くなる綴りを選択していたり,動かしにくい指を使った綴りを選択する傾向がみられた。また,拗音に関する綴りの知識が欠落している可能性が高く,入力速度の劣る学生は,ローマ字の理解も不十分であることがうかがえた。

The aim of this study was to examine and compare the trends among skiing and snowboarding injuries. We tallied the total annual number of visitors to 3 ski areas over the past 3 years and investigated the number of persons who developed sprain, bone fracture, bruise, cut/contused wound, bone dislocation, and other injuries. We also examined the details of the individual injury types, and calculated the rate of blows to the head and the usage of helmets. As a result, it was found that the incidence of sprain was higher for skiing, and that of bone fracture and dislocation was higher for snowboarding. In skiing, sprain of the knee joint was observed most often, followed by head bruising, body trunk bruising, and bone fracture of the lower extremity, in this order. In snowboarding, bone fracture of the forearm was observed most often, followed by body trunk bruising, dislocation of the shoulder, and head bruising, in this order. The incidence of injury was higher for snowboarding compared with skiing, except for that of sprain. In skiing, sprain of the knee joint accounted for approx. 30%, which was significantly high. In addition, the overall occurrence of lower extremity injuries accounted for greater than 50%. In snowboarding, the incidence of injury of the upper arm and head was high. Although the incidence of head impacts was similar between skiing and snowboarding, the usage of helmets was significantly lower in snowboarders. Since head blows could cause serious injuries, one of the future tasks for injury prevention will be to increase the usage of helmets.

本稿では、人々に恐怖をかき立てる代表的な怪物である吸血鬼とその変化を取り上げる。死の観念をめぐる文化や宗教性といった背景を抜きにして吸血鬼を論じることはできない。しかしそのような議論に立ち入ることは最低限に留め、心理臨床の視点から吸血鬼と恐れについて検討し、それが心にとって何を意味するか考察していきたい。

This study aims to reexamine the historical perceptions of the Japanese comic book medium, particularly the "magazine culture" which began in the late I960s, by tracing the historical process of creating "Shinshoban comics" during the 1960s and 1970s. Prior historical studies of postwar manga have not fully examined manga comic magazines, and manga has usually been defined as one type of comic magazine, not as its own independent form of media. Accordingly, in this article, I focus on the "Shinshoban comics" that predated present-day manga comics in order to understand the transformations in the comic industry during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Unlike the manga comics of today, due to the lack of modern industry and marketing systems, Shinshoban comics were very marginalized and crossed over various manga publishing borders. However, as series of Shinshoban comics based on particular comic magazines became the dominant publication style of manga comics, they were gradually perceived to be one type of comic magazine in the comic industry. Moreover, in the political and cultural climate of that time, the publication of some Shinshoban comics was delayed while others were screened out. Some of the works filtered out of the major public companies were published by small publishers as well as Kashihon publishers, which published for book-lending shops. As a result, though Shinshoban comics were subsumed by the comic publishing industry as a part of magazine culture, they were also relatively independent and established themselves as an original publishing medium. Therefore, an investigation of the historical process of creating Shinshoban comics clarifies that the industrialization centering around comic magazines produced by the major publishers beginning in the late 1960s contained within it a complexity that gave rise to an "independent" or "derivative" media culture.
