156 Harumi Befu mony are taken from wedding ceremony. (Bennett and Ishino 1963: 48—51; Ishino 1953: 703—704; Iwai 1963: 146—160.) The solidarity of the ritual kinship group is also symbolized in the ritualized greetings known as jingi which ritual parent and child or members of different ritual kinship groups exchange with one an other on special occasions (Iwai 1963: 261—271). These greetings which are peculiar to ritual kinship groups serve to separate them from the rest of the society and serve as a Durkheimian collective representation. The five features of ritual kinship institution listed above may be regarded as its defining criteria. They define the expressive structure of the concrete group called ritual kinship. While sharing essentially the same expressive structure, ritual kinship groups differ in their instrumental goals from farming to wrestling to gambling, as mention ed above. Groups vary also in the degree to which one or the other of the two analytical structures is emphasized, a point which is discuss ed in great detail by Bennett and Despres (1960) and Bennett and Ishino (1963). For example these authors describe a group of a lumber dealer and his ritual children in which the lumber dealer takes ad vantage of his ritual children’s ideological (i. e., expressive) commit ment and obligation to accept his authority and exploit them for his personal gain without regards to the welfare of the ritual children. In this example, emphasis on the instrumental activity of the group is paramount while expressive structure is being exploited. On the other hand the instrumental activities of the group may be negligible while what keeps the group going is the expressive structure. Such is the case with the so-called “crisis” ritual kinship system. Other Variables While all ritual kinship groups have an expressive structure defined in terms of the above listed five features, they vary considerably in other respects. We shall examine some of the more important va riables in the following and discuss them with illustrations. The variables to be discussed are: (1) unit of the group, (2) size of the group, (3) kinsmen in ritual kinship, (4) recruitment, and (5) training. 1. Unit of the group. Although ritual kinship relation is always initially contracted between two or more individuals, because of the strong tendency in Japan to identify individuals with their families and to treat the family as the basic social unit (Beardsley 1951), ritual kinship is often organized with families as the basic units of the group. In such a case, members of a family tend to take on the same role and attitude as the principal individual through whom the ritual relation is contracted. Thus the wife and children of a man who is a
