| Research Abstract |
In this study, it is clarified that temples and shrines in medieval Japan have the social and economic roles to maintain the local societies around them. In the case of Yakushiji-temple in Nara, the management of its organization was mutually related to the maintenance of the local society around it. And in the case of Imamiyajinnja-shrine in Kyoto, its festival played an important part in the formation of the town's community of Shiba-omiya-cho, which was worshipping the shrine as a guardian deity.
