Outline of Final Research Achievements

The regional differences in the light of changes in funeral rites are diversifying.Regional societies have been responding diversely to the changes in funeral rites. The shift from in-ground burial to cremation has resulted in large columbarium built in the southwest of Kyushu and the disappearance of double-grave system in Kinki region. Mutual aid systems in local society have been disintegrating and the folk custom of tamaokuri in Akita prefecture, in which the soul of the departed were guided to its grave, has been lost because of the shift from private homes to funeral-halls. On the other hand, UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity, such as Hanataue in Kita-Hiroshima-cho, and the tradition of veneration of the dead (ex. Bon festival, Seimei-sai and Jyurokunichi-sai in Okinawa) have been strongly transmitted in spite of the changes in funeral rites.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

葬儀の変化の画期は、組の相互扶助による葬儀から葬儀社委託へ(1990年前後から)、自宅葬からホール葬へ(2000年以降)という2つが大きかった。葬儀における相互扶助の消滅が人びとの生活にどのような影響を与えているのか、地域の伝統的な民俗行事の継承の観点から調査した結果、葬儀変化への対応の地域差、そして葬儀は合理化されても死者や先祖の霊魂祭祀の行事は比較的強い伝承力を有していることが指摘できた。
