Abstract: The Rites of May Fifth Festival in Japan came to being in the early 7th century. From the beginning, they were influenced by the Chinese idea of the Summer Solstice. By the time of 8th century when the centralized law and edict state was established, these practices obtained important state ritual status reflecting the relation order between the emperors and all the subordinate officials. Several items used in these rites, such as calamus, can be traced back to the Chinese custom of celebrating the May Festval. Along with the introduction of these items, some ideas attached on them, such as evil and disaster protection, were adopted in the practice of these rites.
