@article{oai:kanazawa-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00055426, author = {Hayashi, Kiyomi and 林, 紀代美}, journal = {日本海域研究, Japan sea research}, month = {Mar}, note = {This study aims to understand the characteristics of and issues related to a feast associated with the Horai Festival (“Horai-Matsuri ”) in the Tsurugi district (formerly Tsurugi Town), which is located in the Hakusan City area in Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan. The study looks in particular at the functions and purposes of the feast as well as people`s impressions of it. During the festival`s history, many people have considered sasa-zushi (sushi wrapped in bamboo grass) to be an important menu item in the feast. Even today, many people make sasa-zushi by hand, and this maintains its role in passing on knowledge and cooking skills from generation to generation. The Horai Festival and its feast is appreciated as a meaningful occasion in which friends meet and reaffirm local bonds. Most foodstuffs are also purchased locally, for example from large-scale local retailers. Edible wild plants that are collected locally as well as traditional cuisines are included in the present-day feast. These feasting opportunities have a significant impact on the local economy, on the consumption of local resources, and on how people perceive the festival. On the other hand, against the backdrop of the aging population and changes in the food environment, it has become more common to use catering services as well as hors d'oeuvres, indicating that catering to a change in dietary preferences is now also considered acceptable during the feasts., 金沢大学人間社会研究域人間科学系}, pages = {51--66}, title = {会食の特徴・機能と人々の認識:「ほうらい祭り」に注目して}, volume = {52}, year = {2021} }
