| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project researched the influence and effects of mainland Japanese popular culture on Okinawan regional culture from the pre-WWII years up to 1972, focusing on a study of performing arts. Using a textual analysis of first-hand accounts and terminology found in newspapers and other public documents, the study considered the position of Japanese bon-odori using a yagura raised stage as an 'outside' culture in opposition to Okinawan eisa and angama bon traditions. The study showed that the pre-WWII performance of Japanese bon-odori was limited to Yaeyama, and this pre-WWII introduction did not lead to continued performance after WWII. In addition, the post-WWII position of Japanese bon-odori in the Okinawan mainland was seen to be influenced by Buddhist temples, while American military organizations such as the Ryukyu-America Cultural Center and Officers' Club were actively opposed to the promotion of Japanese culture in Okinawa.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近世の沖縄芸能研究は、かつての琉球が取り入れてきた日本や中国など周辺諸国の音楽文化に目を配ってきたが、それに対して従来の近現代の沖縄芸能研究では、そこを見てとる努力を十分にしてこなかった。つまり、後者の研究は郷土芸能の特異性を注視しすぎたために、沖縄に由来しない特徴を他文化とみなし、多様な文化との接合という最も沖縄らしい特色を排して描いてきた。本研究は、近現代の沖縄が時世に左右されつつも多様な文化を取り入れてきた過程を改めて見直すことで、複雑なアイデンティティを形成する沖縄とその芸能史に新しい視点を提供できたものと考えている。
