(7th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”
With the development of the modern railway network, the postal system, and the media, ethnic events and performing arts in various regions have been “discovered” and “hometowns” have been created. In the Showa 50s, the Japanese National Railways (JNR) “Discovery Japan” once again made people aware of their “hometown” and “hometown”. Among them, Kyoto will become a major tourist attraction based on the image of “the hometown of Japan”. I would like to think together with Mr. Mr./Ms. about the relationship between the history of technology and the history of media in the historical background of tourism, and the relationship between Kyoto, Kyoto tourism, and folkloism.
