        This dissertation explores the relationship between a community and tradition through the examination of <italic>matsuri</italic> (festivals) in Shimomura. Shimomura is a rice-farming village in Japan. The festivals at Kamo Jinja (Shrine) in spring and in fall are celebrated by the whole community. The purpose of these festivals is to pray to the tutelary deity for a rich harvest. The festivals are traditional and symbolic for the village. They are also considered to be living historical documents, and to provide initiations for children into the community. The festivals offer the community an opportunity to socialize, maintain solidarity, and discuss their history. I describe and examine the festivals based on two premises. The first premise is that individuals create festivals. Presenting individual experiences and perspectives is the center of my study. The stories people tell show that the <italic>matsuri</italic> have different meanings for different individuals. The second premise is that the festivals are public events, and they involve complex social and cultural processes. Using a semiotic approach, I interpret the symbolic forms of various rituals in the festivals. The enactment of the festivals establishes a historical link to an old village from the Middle Ages, and it transforms community within Shimomura, a unique old village with prestigious heritage. During the rapid social change of the latter half of the 20<super>th </super> century, tradition in Shimomura was renegotiated, recontexualized, and reorganized. In this process, ritual performances—<italic>yabusame </italic> (archery from astride a moving horse) and <italic>chigonomai</italic> (children's dance)—became major symbols of the community. In dialog with the larger society, the meanings and values—traditional festivals and ways of life, rural life and Japanese culture—were reevaluated and incorporated into the symbolic meanings of the festivals. Tradition in Shimomura has been constructed and re-constructed in the process during which individuals reflect upon their cultural heritage in changing situations, and cooperate to perform their festivals in a dynamic historical/social context.
