Throughout Japan, a variety of festivals which reflect the characteristics of the region they are found in, have been safeguarded and transmitted by local residents. These festivals are deeply connected to the lives of the residents. They form the core part of the spirit of the people as something essential to life in each region. The festivals also play important roles as the driving force behind the revitalization of local areas. Some of these festivals feature floats called Yama, Hoko or Yatai. The local safeguarding associations who bear such float festivals, which have been designated by the Government of Japan as Important Intangible Folk Cultural Properties, formed the National Association for the Preservation of Float Festivals. In order to promote the safeguarding of float festivals and to contribute to improving regional cultures, the National Association implements various projects such as maintenance of flo ats, study and research on the festivals. The inscription of the float festivals which show the diversity found in Japan onto the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage will give residents in each region a chance to take a fresh look at how much meaning intangible cultural heritage has for local communities. We believe it will also lead to a surge in efforts to safeguard intangible cultural heritage. At this opportunity of the nomination, we accelerate our efforts by bolstering ties between each of the local associations which are members of the National Association and transmit the float festivals to future generations. 11 March 2015 President of the National Association for the Preservation of Float Festivals Mr. Keiichiro TACHIBANA 1::[E]LlJ • &$ • /~fl'{~Ufi!ff{J-2;t::L fJ r4~ t~-~J~U:~·::5"2·, ~J]fi O) ~5l l9) ~ ~~tt-=. le\ I Ll!·&$· Mtr1i~ O).:J.. ;f-A:J1~Jf~X:1~Jlili:f~* - '!:~*-"O)f:£~r:rriLi": G;i'tc [1 '/$: 0) :!§- :1:1!! t: fJ:, -t 0) :1:1!!

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

  • 637. Rambelli, Fabio
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 2002 29/3–4 The Ritual World of Buddhist “Shinto” The Reikiki and Initiations on Kami-Related Matters (jingi kanjõ) in Late Medieval and Early-Modern Japan Fabio RAMBELLI This article describes a set of rituals, closely related to esoteric Buddhist initiations, in which imperial and kami symbols often replace Buddhist ones. These rituals were at the basis of the transmission of knowledge and practices concerning the kami within the larger framework of medieval and early-modern kenmitsu religiosity, a form of applied honji suijaku. Particularly important among these rituals is the role of Reiki kanjõ, the secret initiation to the Reikiki, an inµuential but elusive key text of pre- modern combinatory religion. After the Meiji period these ritual traditions have been dismissed as syncretic aberrations from “pure” Buddhist or Shinto orthodoxy, and have never been studied in depth. However, it was within the context of esoteric kami initiations that the ³rst Shinto lineages took concrete shape. Finally, this article also points out that while these rit- ual traditions were of medieval origin, they reached their largest diffusion in the early nineteenth century. This fact forces us to reconsider the estab- lished image of Edo-period Shinto as a religion moving away from Bud- dhism. Keywords: initiation rituals (kanjõ) — kami-related initiation rituals (jingi kanjõ, shintõ kanjõ) — honji suijaku — Shingon — Reikiki IN MEDIEVAL JAPAN the transmission of all important texts and knowl- edge in general was carried out through the performance of initiation rituals (kanjõ !™). Originally, kanjõ was a typical esoteric Buddhist ceremony that served to transmit doctrines and practices and sanc- tioned the practitioners’ level of attainment.
