| Research Abstract |
I would like to stress the importance of a view of informants in villages in order to know them deeply. This point of view will help us
1) to understand the cultural back ground for the Okinawan people self- discovery movement which arose in the mid to late 1970s, along with the lifting of political change after returning to main-island Japan.
2) to reconsider the general idea of "informant". Japanese Folklore gave a definition to "informant" as a people who was born and brought up in a village and who could explain his daily life objectively to reseachers. To tell the truth, mostly all of informants in a village have experience in moving out of village ( e.g. emigration to the Philippins, Hawaii, South America, working away from home to main-island Japan, military service, association with discent group and so on ). They can explain their life subjectively and relatively. In addition to this, I appraise villagers' ethnography as a message which contains their imagination on their folklore.
