The Daijo-sai Festival is held only once in the autumn after the enthronement of a new emperor. It is said that' there are many things that should be kept secret,' and the mysterious ceremony has been interpreted in various ways from ancient times, such as praying for a good harvest and ceremonial weddings. The author examined the origin of the Daijo-sai from the Emperor Tenmu era, when it was established, to the Kofun period (tumulus period) and the Yayoi period. The origin was in the rice cultivation ceremony, and it was clarified that the Japanese culture in the early stage of the original was full of the principle of women. The base of the Japanese spirit up to the present appears.
