It refers to the "bullying" inflicted on a groom, and can be directed at all new husbands (oto), or at adopted grooms. The former is practiced in various regions on New Year's Day, festivals, and other occasions, where the groom is forced to eat large portions of rice, or has water or mud thrown over him. The latter is a test to make him obey village regulations, such as making him carry a heavy drum during festivals or making him do menial work even if he is older. In a hierarchical society, there is a hierarchy for each individual, and among those of equal status, age hierarchy has been maintained, but adopted grooms and brides, as people who have entered from elsewhere, were previously placed lower in the hierarchy. However, the content of the "bullying" is vague, and can include variations on rebirth spells (jujutsu) to move on to the next stage in a rite of passage, or "jealousy" at the happiness of others.

婿に加えられる「いじめ」をさし、新婚の夫(おっと)すべてに対するものと、養子婿に対するものとがある。前者は、正月や祭礼その他の機会に、大盛りの飯をむりやり食べさせたり、水を浴びせたり泥をかけたりする行事が各地にある。後者は、村の統制に従わせるために試練を課すもので、祭りのときに重い太鼓を担がせるとか、年長であっても下働きをさせるとかのことがある。階級社会ではひとりひとりに序列があり、同等の身分のなかでは年齢序列が守られてきたが、養子婿や嫁は他から参入した者として、以前は序列の下位に組み込まれた。ただし「いじめ」の内容は漠然としており、通過儀礼のなかで次の段階に移行するための再生呪術(じゅじゅつ)の変化したものや、他人の幸福への「やっかみ」なども含まれている。 [井之口章次] [参照項目] | |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 |
