| Research Abstract |
In the beginning of the Syowa period, "Chikaraishi" had already lessened the mean of the observance of passage related to a mode of labor. Generally "Chikaraishi" had been practiced as "play" of "a strength contest" at the time of festival or of contest of "sumo". That is, "traditional body" had not related to a mode of labor "agriculture", it had merely function in play and recreation. Such a transformation had depended on not only the policy of "modernization of body" - the diffusion of physical education at school and of athletic meeting - which had been devised in order to push forward "wealth and military strength of a nation" and "increase of production and promotion of industry" as the slogan of the government in the Meiji period, but also the social process of a transformation the loss of the means of "traditional body" by mean of the progress in technique of agriculture and a supply of chemical fertilizer and the intensity of the production.
Thus, in the beginning of the Syowa period body had been modernized. On the other hand young people had played by carrying on the shoulder chikaraishi, on the other hand they had taken kindly to "a lively motion" and "quick locomotion" and "the conversion of a direction" and "a march standing in a row" by means of adhering to athletic meeting in the town and village and school.
