Speaker: Toyama Masanao (Research Fellow, Minamishima Cultural Research Institute, Okinawa International University)
In Okinawa, funerals used to be held at the bottom of a cliff near the coast. That place is also a place where giant squirrels live. Decipher the relationship between funerals and okayedokari from both biological and folklore perspectives, etc., and what kind of effects they had on people in the old days.
