This paper aims to clarify Yanagi Muneyoshi (1889-1961)’s interpretation of Hamada Shoji(1894-1978)’s salt glaze from the 1950s. Both of them are well renowned as leaders of the ‘Mingei (folk craft) ...movement’ and it is famous that Yanagi acclaimed Hamada as the excellent potter, but Yanagi’s interpretation of Hamada’s salt glaze has not been researched enough.In this paper, first, I confirm the outline of Hamada’s salt glaze technique, and then confirm the outline of Yanagi’s thought about the concept of ‘the Other Power’ (Tariki) from the 1950s. Based on these, first, I consider the relationship between Yanagi’s theory about the tea ceremony and Hamada’s tea bowls with salt glaze which Yanagi admired as the symbol of the tea utensils which passive "the Other Power".Next, I consider the relationship between Yanagi's "Buddhism-aesthetics"(esthetic based on Pure Land Buddhism) and Hamada’s works with salt glaze, focusing on Yanagi’s enthusiastic interest in unglazed pottery (pottery not glazed artificially, but glazed naturally in a kiln) at the time.From these considerations, it is clarified that Yanagi interpreted and explained Hamada’s salt glaze as reflection of Hamada’s passivity to "the Other Power", to justify Hamada’s works and to show the newest example of "Buddhism-aesthetics".

Capturing the vitality of California's unique indigenous cultures, this major new introduction incorporates the extensive research of the past thirty years into an illuminating, comprehensive ...synthesis for a wide audience. Based in part on new archaeological findings, it tells how the California Indians lived in vibrant polities, each boasting a rich village life including chiefs, religious specialists, master craftspeople, dances, feasts, and ceremonies. Throughout, the book emphasizes how these diverse communities interacted with the state's varied landscape, enhancing its already bountiful natural resources through various practices centered around prescribed burning. A handy reference section, illustrated with more than one hundred color photographs, describes the plants, animals, and minerals the California Indians used for food, basketry and cordage, medicine, and more. At a time when we are grappling with the problems of maintaining habitat diversity and sustainable economies, we find that these native peoples and their traditions have much to teach us about the future, as well as the past, of California.
Why aren't Jewish women circumcised? This improbable question, first advanced by anti-Jewish Christian polemicists, is the point of departure for this wide-ranging exploration of gender and ...Jewishness in Jewish thought. With a lively command of a wide range of Jewish sources—from the Bible and the Talmud to the legal and philosophical writings of the Middle Ages to Enlightenment thinkers and modern scholars—Shaye J. D. Cohen considers the varied responses to this provocative question and in the process provides the fullest cultural history of Jewish circumcision available.
This paper reports a small-scale qualitative study involving women who participated in the occupations of tea ceremony; an essential part of Japanese culture. Interviewing the women revealed the ...importance of using special tea implements in a performance comprising a series of occupational procedures from making the tea and hosting guests, to putting things away in a special place. Findings showed how engaging in tea ceremony enabled the sharing of common emotions, a sense of ongoing personal development, concentration, and a feeling of presence. The women's stories showed how the values espoused in the tea room, which is a special place in Japanese culture, gave meaning to ongoing participation in this tradition. These findings reveal that specific places have the potential to influence presence during occupational engagement and encourage the suspension of usual routines, learning new skills, and connecting with others who share common goals.
This research‐based position paper offers critical examination and critique of the drug court (DC) graduation model and outlines an alternative approach. To enhance reconfiguration of the current DC ...graduation system, we propose a redemption‐oriented framework that we believe is better aligned with the rehabilitation literature and reintegrative shaming theory. These conceptual underpinnings cohere with restorative justice and together represent a useful interpretive perspective for examining current DC practices in the United States. They also align with the goals we believe redemption rituals should elevate. This is based on four main elements of redemption rituals: achievement; co‐ordination of care; status elevation; and moral inclusion. We operationalise these elements by identifying two constituent factors of each. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications for DC practice and recommendations for future research in this area.

El estudio del ritual en la historia se vio impulsado en gran medida por la confluencia de la historiografía con las ciencias sociales y especialmente con la antropología que aportó un sólido esquema ...teórico a la historia social y a la nueva historia política, responsable del análisis de fenómenos históricos previamente considerados tangenciales, periféricos o anecdóticos. En este artículo se expone por una parte los principales fundamentos del estudio del ritual provenientes de las ciencias sociales. Por otra parte, se analiza su vinculación con la historia medieval europea occidental y su irrupción en el ámbito ibérico. Finalmente, a través de los debates salientes en torno al ritual como es el caso de la sacralidad de la realeza, se establece un estado de la cuestión del ritual político en la historiografía bajomedieval de los reinos hispánicos cristianos en las últimas décadas.
The study of ritual in history was primarily fostered by the convergence of history with the social sciences and especially anthropology which contributed a theoretical scheme to social history and to the new political history responsible for the analysis of historical phenomena previously deemed tangential, marginal or anecdotal. This article begins by detailing the main foundations of ritual study established by the social sciences. Following this, we will assess how ritual study became the object of Western European medieval history, along with its breakthrough in the Iberian context. Finally, through a discussion of the major debates surrounding medieval ritual, such as the issue of the sacred nature of kingship, we will assess the scholarship of the last few decades on the history of late medieval political rituals in the Christian Iberian kingdoms.
The same with other art branches, the design of environmental decoration in ceremony etiquette belongs to practical art. It is the space-time art of three-dimensional even multi-dimensional space, ...not the simple graphic art. It is the combination of multi-dimensional space and visual art. On the study of environmental decoration in modern ceremony etiquette, the paper provides the scientific guidance for the feasibility and operability in practical design from the viewpoint of ceremony etiquette environmental decoration and traditional folk culture, environmental accessory design, environmental color design, situational design and installation art design.
The purpose of this article is to examine the leisure experiences of Aboriginal women in a Canadian federal prison as they engaged in traditional ceremony. This study explores how Aboriginal women's ...experiences of ceremony, conceptualized as leisure, challenged the controlling environment of the prison and contributed to the release of pain and other feelings that resulted from traumatic events. The healing experiences of the Aboriginal women in this study are ultimately contrasted with the oppressive environment of the prison. The findings suggest that surveillance, discipline and punishment were replaced with a safe and secure emotional space, which provided an environment for the women to collectively reveal their vulnerabilities and begin to heal. This process of healing led to the embodiment of Sisterhood, which was portrayed through the development of mutually trusting, caring and supportive relationships.

Both previous research and anecdotal evidence have found the commonplace activity of kava-drinking to be 'a recreational activity for older males' and a complete 'waste of time'. This paper presents ...a summary of my Master's research, an exploratory study of the experiences and perceptions of a group of NZ-born Tongan males living in Auckland and their participation in the Tongan cultural practice known as the faikava. Further, it is hoped that their lived-experiences of the faikava and how they value this cultural practice generate and reinforce feelings of identity and security for other New Zealand-born Tongan males today and in the future. A methodological framework combining phenomenology and talanoa was employed. Twelve members of faikava clubs in the Auckland region were selected as research participants. The clubs they belonged to were mainly linked to churches, villages and old boys' associations. The talanoa was conducted in Tongan and English, and was recorded. Findings suggest that faikava plays a significant role in teaching, reinforcing and maintaining the Tongan culture and language for this group. Moreover, they referred to the faikava environment as a cultural classroom in which debates, songs and music rejuvenated and maintained Tongan culture and language. It can be said that the faikava is valued as an identity marker for New Zealand-born Tongan males in Auckland, New Zealand.
