| 内容記述 | For what reasons and circumstances do some people elect to seclude themselves in remote places to perform severe ascetic practices? This short essay draws upon the example of retreats at Shō no iwaya 笙の窟, the “Cave of the Flute,” in central Japan （Kamikitayama 上北山, Wakayama Prefecture 和歌山県）. I am grateful for the opportunity to, first, examine the context in which this location was used over time̶paying special attention to the medieval period̶and, then, turn to one instance of contemporary practice. Although the medieval and contemporary settings are very different, my purpose is to show that in both periods, it was paramount to rely on earlier role models, who created the mold for new interpretations. By constructing and relying on common references, practitioners throughout history manage to maintain a tenuous but strong continuity with past times: the shared experience of effort and hardship creates a bond appealing enough to last centuries. In addition, the sedimentation of previous practices is an extremely important factor for cohesion and consolidation. The geographical location of Shō no iwaya is remote and secluded. It is a shallow cave, exposed to wind and rain, on the eastern flank of the Ōmine mountains （Ōminesan 大峰山） on the Kii peninsula 紀伊半島. At present, the cave is surrounded by dense shrubs and woods and does not open into expansive vistas. Yet, Shō no iwaya counts among the ancient and celebrated sites of Shugendō 修験道 practice. As a religious tradition, Shugendō, “the Way to Powers through Practice,” is best known for its focus on ascetic practices in mountain regions. Its followers are called either yamabushi 山伏（or 山臥）, “persons who lay down in the mountains,” or shugenja 修験者, “persons of power.” Through ritualized retreats and circuits in the mountains called “mountain/peak entries”（mineiri 峯入り）, punctuated by various types of austerities, yamabushi or shugenja aim at acquiring and mastering “marvelous powers”（reigen 霊験）. To this day, both these elements̶ritual practice in the mountains and the pursuit of powers̶are the two main defining features of Shugendō. | |||||||
