【巫女の民俗学】柳田國男著『巫女考』とは？　巫女を巡る旅【ゆっくり解説】

This video explains the history and folklore of shrine maidens, primarily based on Kunio Yanagita's essay, Miko-kō (Studies on Shrine Maidens). Regarding the reading of Miko-kō*, while the Aozora Bunko version of *Momen Izen no Koto (Things Before Cotton) provides the furigana (pronunciation guide), the original text does not have furigana. Furthermore, academic papers and university literature often use the spelling *Miko-kō*, so we have used *Miko-kō*. #Folklore #ShrineMaiden #SlowExplanation #History ◆References◆ (Recommended) Kim Ji-hye (Author), Yoon I-kyung (Translator) (2021) *Discrimination is Usually Inflicted by People with No Malice*, Ōtsuki Shoten →https://amzn.to/4tEIpQk ・A book I read thinking it would be helpful as a guide for this video. It was a thought-provoking book with many thought-provoking points.
