@article{oai:fukuyama-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00008139, author = {藤原, 美樹 and 松本, 靜夫}, journal = {福山大学工学部紀要}, month = {Dec}, note = {P(論文), This paper focuses on the sixth wife's ceremony of birth and death in various ritual initiations and examines how the two ceremonies affect women's territory. Women lived in an area "separated from the public" even "inside" a house. When a public ceremony was held in a drawing room, folding screen and bamboo blind were used to separate the continuity of the room and to hide women's territory. It becomes clear that women played a lot of roles for various rites. A marriage was a ceremony to take a wife from the outside to the inside. On the other hand, a funeral was a ceremony to send the dead off from the inside to the outside. Thus, It was found out that a court closer to the outside world also played an important role as a ceremonial site. The ceremony of birth was an extraordinary one accompanied with the notion that childbirth makes a woman unclean. A ceremonial site for birth was a special place like the one for the ceremony of marriage mentioned in the previous paper. In other words, a curtained small space was changed into a ceremonial place. Normally, a curtain was widely opened. Once it was closed, the closed space changed its nature and functioned as a special place. The baby's one-month-old ceremony was performed at a drawing room corresponding to an "outer space" of a house. In addition, this room was also available, as the main place, for the ceremony of death. In this way, the same place was used both on a pleasant and detestable occasion.}, pages = {117--122}, title = {『金瓶梅』にみられる住まいの空間構成と女性の領域に関する研究 : 誕生と死の儀礼について}, volume = {27}, year = {2003} }
