Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify various aspects of cultural practice of patients in national sanatoriums for Hansen's disease in Japan. In order to make sanatoriums a better place to live, patients detained in sanatoriums under isolation policies participated in various common activities. This paper focuses especially on music-related activities among various activities which patients in the sanatoriums conducted on their own initiative. In addition to clarifying the process of creating and developing communal activities, this paper examines the effects and value of cultural practice for patients isolated in sanatoriums.
