Ritual - Kirei

Japanese: 儀礼 - ぎれい
Ritual - Kirei
Ritual rituals are behaviors that are standardized in each religion and culture. They also include secular events that are unrelated to any particular religion. They include rites of passage that indicate the transition of an individual's status (weddings, initiation ceremonies, funerals, etc.), intensification rituals to periodically strengthen the unity and solidarity of a group (agricultural rituals, annual events, etc.), and situational rituals to remove individual or group crises (rain-making and warding off evil spirits, etc.). Everyday actions such as greetings and calling out to others also have meaning and function as rituals. Rituals use symbols to convey a message, and at the same time, they also convey a meta-message that the content of the message is genuine and solemn. Therefore, rituals can be said to be excellent devices for those in power to transmit ideologies to maintain themselves.

Japanese:
それぞれの宗教や文化において定型化された行動。特定の宗教とは無関係な世俗的行事も含む。個人の地位の移行を示す通過儀礼(結婚式,加入式,葬式など),集団の統合・連帯を定期的に強化するための強化儀礼(農耕儀礼,年中行事など),個人や集団の危機を除去するための状況儀礼(雨乞いや厄病払いなど)などがある。挨拶や呼びかけなどの日常的行動も,儀礼としての意味とはたらきを持つ。儀礼は象徴を用いてメッセージを伝えると同時に,当のメッセージの内容は真正かつ厳粛であるというメタ・メッセージをも伝える。したがって,権力が自らを維持するためのイデオロギーを伝達するには,儀礼はすぐれた装置といえる。
