Shrine Festivals and Digital Archives: Toward the Inheritance of Local Culture

In each region of Japan, the annual festival of a shrine is an important event that symbolizes the culture and traditions of the region. Local residents and tourists who gather around the shrine deepen the history and beliefs of the region and the bonds between people through the festival. However, in recent years, the participation of the younger generation in festivals has decreased, and the inheritance of local culture is in jeopardy. Therefore, the use of digital archives is attracting attention.
Digital archiving is an initiative to digitize materials such as videos, photographs, and documents and make them accessible online. By using this technology, it is possible to preserve and widely share the state of the festival, the history of the region, and the stories related to the festival. In particular, it is attractive that you can reach many people through SNS and video distribution platforms.
For example, by storing the footage of the festival as a digital archive, you can convey the atmosphere to those who could not attend or who live far away. It is also an opportunity for local children to learn about their own culture and be proud of it. In addition, by holding workshops and events using the digital archive, there will be opportunities for local people to come together and deepen exchanges.
However, there are also some challenges to digital archiving efforts. For example, it takes time and money to collect and digitize materials, and it is also important to secure human resources with technical knowledge. You should also be mindful of copyright and privacy issues. In order to overcome these challenges, it is necessary for local governments, educational institutions, volunteer organizations, and other organizations to work together and work together.
The inheritance of local culture cannot be achieved overnight, but the use of digital archives will help pass on the rich culture to future generations. Through the annual grand festival of the shrine, the charm of the region is rediscovered and passed on to the next generation.
