In this article, 'Folkloric Performance' is thought as the object of Historical Anthropology. 'Tuburosashi' is one of the exemples of 'Folkloric Performances' in Japan. It seems to have been played in Hamochi-machi, Sado for about 400 years. How do we describe 'Folkloric Performance' as the body action by language? What is the waythat we explain it? Our methodological problem is here. To ask the question, I study on the discourses about the 'art' of 'Folkloric Performance', 'Tuburosashi'. At any rate, the performance is a kind of body language. Navertheless, we can approach to it only by our language. Whenever they talk about 'Tuburosashi', most of the performers say that it played for 'Fecondity'. Though this notion is very frequently observed in 'Folk Society', we can't testify their believes in 'Fecondity' . Because the other's belief is invisible, even if he expresses his belief by languge. The discourse of 'Fecondity' has two kinds of means. On the one hand, it is the abundance of grains. On the other hand, it is the prosperity of ascendants. That is the reason why the belief in 'Fecondity' is interpreted as the belief in sexuality. In modern society where the secularization is rising up. religious believes become very impossible. But there is the place in which we pray for something yet. I want to name the special place 'Mentally'. This notion is cited from 'Annales' School of Historical Studies in France. It means the way by which people think or sense. I think that I can interprete what is on the base of 'Fecondity' by adopting the concept, 'Mentaily'. When they prepare for the performance in festival, the performers of 'Tuburosashi' tear off the coloured papers on masks and tools, which they put on last year. In that process, they remember the events in festivals of past. I may name the remembering 'collective memory'. Why do they dance? I can't ask the question. But at least, I can insist that they memorize the present and remember the past to orient to the future by playing it.
