"Fieldwork" is one of the most important methods for religious studies, and other field-sciences as anthropology, folklore, etc.Jn this article, the dawn of religious studies' fieldwork is sketched roughly, and the legitimacy and need of "Religiography" is discussed. "Fieldwork" means generally a series of process of 1. collecting informations, 2. putting them in order, and 3. describing them. That is to say, it is a method of describing fieldworker's own experiences in field. The method seems to be objective. But it is very difficult to describe them "objectively" for any fieldworkers. Because languages is not always transparent. We cannot believe in the scientific objectivity naively. Religious studies' fieldwork in Japan began about 1930. In the school of Kunio Yanagita, it is begun by Enku Uno, Toshiaki Harada, Kiyoto Furuno and Chijo Akamatsu. These fieldworkers of religious studies worked in the scientific institutional territory between folklore and ethnology. Religions are specific objects to study for fieldworkers- Because they are concerned with the territory of symbolic, especially the non-rational and non-ordinary. So "Religiography" occupies a special position different from ethnography. It means describing or a description of fieldworker' S. own experiences through some interactions with religious practicians. It is now when "Religiography", in other words, an alternative level of special description on religions is required eagerly.
