Abstract

<p>  In Iwate prefecture, in Okutama, Senmaya-cho, Ichinoseki-city, Iwate prefecture, “discipline dojo” was held until the mid-1960s. At “discipline dojo”, young people learned about the protocols of wedding ceremonies. I investigated a lecture book used in the dojo. Explanations and figures of the protocols were described in the book. The room where the wedding took place, the method of pouring Japanese alcohol into cups, and the order of pouring were shown in detail. The goods which were part of the ceremony were “hanpi”, “sangozakana”, “otyou”, “metyou”, and cups with their respective roles. “Hanpi” was a pair of cups for Japanese alcohol. “Sangozakana” on a tray was ritual cuisine consisting of three foods, peeled Japanese radish, small dried fishes and kelp. “Otyou” and “metyou” were two kettles for Japanese alcohol decorated with folded papers. “Otyou” and “metyou” referred to a boy and a girl who poured Japanese alcohol into cups for the bride and bridegroom. This survey revealed that there were typical protocols of wedding ceremonies unique to Okutama.</p>
