Abstract

[The main findings are summarized following the three main objectives of this work: to track the history of the ritual, to interpret the role of consumption practices involved in the creation of the ritual event, and to explore the reasons for its continuing popularity in contemporary Japanese society. While the ritual works in multiple ways and satisfies multiple needs, the principal functions of the ritual, identified in the work, are examined through an examination of the main components (the festive dress, the photo, shrine visit) and actors. The complexity of the meaning of shrine worship is made part of a more general discourse on categories such as ‘religion’, ‘faith’, and ‘sacred’.]
