The absolute confidence in the effective use of orality is the essence of the fieldwork in human sciences and social sciences. In other words, the questions and answers in the fieldwork constructs the major part. However, this seems to reflect the limits of orality also in the current conditions of fieldwork. I have in the past implemented a fieldwork in Ohashi of Matsudo city in Chiba prefecture about the dance of three lions (shishi) and experienced a very strange happening with the horns that adorn the head of the lion. With this report on the episode, I have been led to examine and provide the limits of the effective use of orality. I can present the key to the innovation of a cognitive model of the fieldwork that has been acknowledged as being dependent on orality. Actually the potential model is not dependent on the unnatural cognitive expansion based on the conversational dialogue model. What I mean is that not only the knowledge as in "knowing that," the knowledge as in "knowing how" is also considered as important. And finally, I provide the necessity of understanding the discourses presented by those who are involved in the context of the rehearsal process.
