Abstract
The Nagasaki’s Lantern Festival is gaining popularity through the continued partnership between the immigrant Chinese (Kakyo) and Nagasaki city, largely owing to the ethnic Chinese revitalization movement and the distinct way of life typical in Nagasaki. Following author’s past research, discusses the development and modification of Nagasaki’s Lantern Festival, to examine the relationship between the features specific to the Nagasaki area and the changes in the Kakyo community’s sense of ethnicity amid the wave of globalization.
