It is a culture trait characteristic of forest hunters [BIRKET-SMIT1H9 62], although it is largely lacking or undeveloped among tundra hunters. Whereas bear rituals coexist by and large with shamanism in the northern hemisphere, shamans as such participate rarely in the bear ceremonials. While Findeisen [1939] interprets this incongruency of the two traits in terms of different culture strata to which they belong respectively, the author prefers another possibility, that bear ceremonialism as a group festivity does not require the active cooperation of shamans, who are in their element in dealing with such private matters as curing, necromancy and others. A subtype of bear rituals is located in the area covering the lower Amur Basin, Sakhalin and Hokkaido, where a bear cub caught in the mountains is fed and raised in a village and then ceremonially killed. As Watanabe [1966] and Paproth [1976] contend, this subtype could develop only in an area with a sedentary life style and stable food supply. The author suggests that the ecological base of this area can be defined by deciduous broad-leaved forests, including various kinds of oak. On the other hand, farming cultures with domestic animals in Manchuria and China presumably gave impetus to the emergence of the practice of keeping bear cubs, a practice which is essential to this subtype.}, pages = {427--449}, title = {熊祭の歴史民族学的研究 : 学史的展望}, volume = {10}, year = {1985}, yomi = {オオバヤシ, タリョウ} }
