- Title
Between Preservation and Tourism.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article considers Japan’s folk performing arts (minzoku geinō) as originally having been objectified through tourism. Through the case study of the rice transplanting ritual Mibu no Hana-taue, I examine the creative process through which the people concerned have gained their identity by using tourism as a resource to produce/reproduce the practice of folk performing arts. I conclude that we must consider the experiences and feelings of the people concerned in the folk performing arts in constructing notions of authenticity.
