| Research Abstract |
In Bali, Laos and Japan, the former method to learn traditional dances was very physical, by private or a small group lesson in village. Today, traditional dances are instructed in some public educational institutes too. From interview with 6 Balinese female dancers of different generations, we can know that the learning method of the older generation was harder, more religious and physically. The younger generation learned dances in school with more systematic method and in mass. The present condition in Laos is very similar with 1970's in Bali. The prospectiveness of graduates as a dancer of National School of Music and Dance depend on the development of tourism. Balinese created the new culture with tourism but there is no same sign at the present in Laos. Results of research on Kabuki performance in Higashi-Mino area (Gifu prefecture) and Hana-matsuri in Oku-Mikawa (Aichi Prefecture) are following. Kabuki performance is called mura-shibai (village Kabuki), it used to be the most popular entertainment for villager, but it had declined in the middle of the Showa period because of World War II, the arrival of new entertainments and the depopulation. And now it has revived with the new function as the promotion of the regional development. Hana-matsuri has a long history but has been reduced in scale. They changed local rule to join village festival to continue, so many people from out of this area came to join their festival. Both built relationship with the school education to leave the intangible cultural asset to future generations. In Bali and Laos it is clearly that the transmission of traditional dances has the aim to the promotion of tourism but in Japan it is for the regional development entirely.
