Outline (in English)

Although the wind is atmospheric phenomenon, it also means disease in the historical story, Eiga Monogatari, compiled in the Heian period. The demoniac wind that causes diseases is known in old folktales in every region of Ryukyu and Japan. In this course, you will study to deepen the understanding of the demoniac wind, spiritual power, and Shamanic cultures.
The aim of this course is to understand the consistency of folklore and stories and to learn about the power of folklore that preserves traditions.
Intensive reading of textbooks and references is necessary before and after each class. Required study time is one hour for a class.
The final grade will be evaluated by in-class performance (40%) and the result of the term-end examination (60 %).
