| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Today, Hawaiian traditional dance, hula is evolving in the local and global space. The object of this study is clarifying how the contemporary hula is developing. In order to consider the problem, this study mainly focused on the Merrie Monarch Festival which is the hula competition held every spring on Hawaii. On the basis of the fieldwork and the references, it can be concluded that contemporary Hawaiians seem hula as a way to assert their independence, as well as commercial culture. Moreover, it is clear that Japanese hula-lovers have been making hula like that, since they have been pursuing genuine hula eagerly.
