日本民俗学姻亲关系研究述略

The Research into Marriage Relations in Japanese Folklore

日本民俗学有关女性民俗的研究并非主流,其中关于婚姻关系、姻亲关系的研究更是较多地穿插于人生仪礼、家族部分的研究中,分散且不相对独立。在日本民俗学非常有限的姻亲关系研究中,绝大部分集中在嫁女与娘家之间表现出的密切关系和频繁往来这一切入角度。文章着重从婚姻制度与婚俗的综述研究、植野弘子对姻亲关系的研究、有关嫁女与娘家之间保持密切往来的研究、相关的学会活动四个方面入手,对日本民俗学有关姻亲关系的相关研究做出梳理。不可否认的是女性民俗学者特有的研究视角在日本民俗学界已经得到肯定。

The research on female folklore in Japanese folklore is not the focus,while the research into marriage relations in Japanese folklore is quite limited,scattered in some researches on rituals and families,and mainly about the marrying off the daughters and their close connections with their parents.This study focuses on the research into marriage relations in Japanese folklore and covers four aspects as follows：summary studies of the marriage systems and customs,Hiroko Ueno＇s research into marriage customs,the research on the marrying off the daughters and their close connections with their parents and the activities of the relevant associations.There is no denying that the unique perspectives of the female folklorists have been accepted by the Japanese folklorists at large.
