Abstract
This paper analyzes the Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR) as a typical example of a phenomenon in which religion (holy) and entertainment (recreational) have come closer to each other through consumerism and information technology, and the boundary between them is disappearing, or becoming fluid. While Lyon pointed out that religion has approached casual and entertainment(2000), TDR has approached from entertainment to religion. In this paper, I extracted the following three points that the two have in common : 1. Reenchantment and the extravaganza as a gigantic spectacle continue; 2. A third place is set up, allowing guests to be re-embedded there; and 3. Guests will be able to customize park information to create their own personal Disney, or "My Disney," and maintain their own identity based on this. In conclusion, the environment that TDR offers to its guests foreshadows the postmodern conditions that are helping spur liquid modernity in today's society.
