¡Yanagida Kunio / Hen
Description
[Machine Translation] Folklore studies are often thought of as the collection of traditional events, customs, and folklore from various regions of Japan. However, the aim of Kunio Yanagida, the father of folklore, was to clarify what formed the national character of the Japanese people through folklore research and to help solve problems that are currently occurring. Yanagida, who began his career as a bureaucrat, was always conscious of the question, "Why is there fraud in every election? As Yanagida developed his own scholarship to answer this question, he came across folk customs such as oyakata and kokata that were the cause of the fraud. This is a masterpiece of Japanese theory that clearly shows where folklore, which Yanagida defined as "the study of commentary on the state of the world" and "the study of the people's welfare," stands.
