论以入选世界遗产名录为契机而产生的新宗教文化--以春日大社春日山炼成会的活动为题

A Study on the New Religious Culture Generated at a Turning Point of the Declarations a World Heritage——A Case Study on Tasuga taisha and Mountain Kasuga-yama Renseikai

作为春日信仰的重要圣地,位于奈良的春日山长久以来禁止一般信众的登拜活动,但随着春日大社入选世界遗产名录,春日山也开始接受一般信众在神职人员的引导下进行登拜活动,这项活动到2009年已历时十年。春日山炼成会的参加者,不是过去信奉春日信仰并与之有密切血缘和地缘关系的社会集团成员,而多数是在此之前与春日大社并无信仰关系的普通民众。春日山炼成会的举办和登拜春日山圣地的活动,与世界遗产的理念有着共通之处。本论文即以在日本屈指可数的古老神社之一春日大社的入选世界遗产名录为契机,着重论述从春日大社内部孕育并产生出的对其而言是另一种新的宗教文化产生、扎根的过程。

As a significant shrine of Kasuga religion,Mountain Kasuga-yama,located in Nara,had forbidden the worship activities of the popular believers for a long time.However,as Tasuga taisha was declared a world heritage,it's started to admit such activities guided by the clergies for ten years until 2009.Mt.Kasuga-yama renseikai participants are not the group members who believe in Kasuga religion and have a blood and geo relationship to it,but the popular people who were not religiously related to Tasuga taisha.There is a common point between the holding renseikai and worshiping Mt.Kasuga-yama shrine,and the World Heritage concept.This paper discusses the process of the generation of another new religious culture born inside Tasuga taisha at a Turning Point of Tasuga taisha's being declared the World Heritage.
