Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using descriptions in period official histories and protocols, I examined how ceremonial music and dance performances reflect the meaning of the rituals themselves. For instance, Naikyobo, which consisted of only female performers, played at Naien (Privy Banquet) and Kikkaen (Chrysanthemum Banquet); it followed the Chinese-model policy, especially the political expulsion of women current at the time those rituals were established. Japanese ritual wrestling originated from ancient Chinese baixi which included many kinds of performance as a show of imperial force. Its style as an offertory ceremony is reflected in the music performance by Imperial guard agency members.
I also explored the background of Christopher Small's idea of “musicking,” in Catalonia where he developed the concept. During my stay I conducted research into his former materials and also gathered information on his music activity at an amateur theatre and lectures at musicological meetings there.
