| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Before the "unprecedented" scale of Tsunami hit many of the Japanese fishing vilages in 2011, some of them, in each history, had already gone through former tsunami, for example in 1896 and 1933 in tsunami-prone area called Sanriku region. The aim of this study was to explore the way such tsunami-prone communities cope with the situation that the hamlets themselves would have been hard to endure.
Field research showed that: (1) the rituals or festivals, which were calendrical "routine" in their normal life, could contribute to rebuild the rhythm of their daily life in severely disaster-affected communities since it enabled them to foresee their realistic outlook in the chaotic situation. (2) Such tsunami-prone communities themselves played a role to inform them of the future attacks of tsunami transgenerationally because lifespan was often shorter than the historical intervals of past tsunami.
