Outline of Final Research Achievements

We clarified the leaning mechanism of the community-specific `ethos,' `coordinated body skills,' and `common knowledge,' which are inherited from generation to generation through the preparatory works for a traditional festival. i) `Ethos': values, insight, and confidence that the members of the community have (e.g., consideration for others and the spirits of self-sacrifice); ii) `Coordinated body skills': collaborative techniques required for controlling the force and the placement of the bodies among the members (e.g., synchronization between the rhythm of singing and the operation on trees and ropes); and iii) `Knowledge': common knowledge about the usage of festival equipments and traditional conventions (e.g., the names of parts of woods and of rope knitting).
We analyzed how the members of the community learn these `ethos,' `coordinated body skills,' and `common knowledge' through detailed video analysis, and revealed the model of the group learning.
