A complete fish with both head and tail is served on a celebratory meal, a meal for a sacred occasion such as a Shinto festival, and is called a "meal with head and tail attached" and is used as a symbol of a happy meal. In Buddhism, fish is not used because of the precept against killing, and this is known as vegetarian cuisine. However, dishes that use fish are used in places outside of Buddhist control, so the typical dish with head and tail attached was added to emphasize its meaning.

祝いの膳(ぜん)、神祭りなど改まった日の食膳に、頭も尾もそろった完全な形の魚をつける、これを「尾頭付きの膳」といって、めでたい食事の象徴のように用いられる。仏教では、殺生戒(せっしょうかい)ということで魚は使わない、いわゆる精進料理であった。これに対して魚を用いる料理は、仏教の管理以外のところで用いられるので、典型的ともいえる尾頭付きの一皿を加えてその意味を強調したわけである。 [丸山久子] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
