RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REVIVING OF SHRINE RITUAL SEEN FROM THE MOVEMENT OF GROUPS THAT PERFORM IN “OHSUGI SHRINE FESTIVAL” AND THE REBUILDING OF TOWN

Abstract

-In the case of Yamada-town in Shimohei-gun, Iwate-prefecture after the Great East Japan earthquakeRyoya MORITA, Haruhiko GOTO, Yoshito YAMAZAKI and Mitsuru NODA The aim of this paper is to clarify the reality of the reviving of shrine ritual in order not only to rethink ongoing projects implemented under the word "Earthquake Disaster Reconstruction" but to think post-earthquake rebuilding of town in future tsunami-prone areas. Interestingly, the reviving of shrine ritual reached major milestones to coincide with the shifts of dwelling environment from shelter to temporary housing, or from temporary housing to disaster public housing. Not only in Yamada-town but in general reconstruction, it is hoped that as well as being a memorial for victims of the disaster, shrine ritual would be revived while linking it organically to rebuilding of dwelling environment and industrial recovery to which it is indivisibly related.
