| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the background for the dissociation between the production location and sales location of omiyage. Souvenirs or omiyage are understood not only as a commodity but also a medium to convey the image of the destination. However, in the case of Japanese omiyage, the production and sales locations are often dissociated. In recent years, the material culture of tourism has become a prominent area of study in tourism research. Omiyage is a Japanese word often used as an equivalent to the word “souvenir.” However, omiyage cannot be fully explained by the Western concept of the souvenir. Therefore, in order to understand the cause of the disjunction, we have to consider the nature of Japanese omiyage. In this study, in addition to examining tourism studies, we also reviewed anthropological theories about gift giving. Our results showed that three basic factors are essential to Japanese omiyage: authenticity, gift exchange, and ritual inversion.
