This paper intends to clarify the characteristics of Seoul Ginoguigut in ritual form. This paper points out three characteristics; materialization of the journey to the world of the dead, direct communications with the dead, inclusive blessings for the dead and the living. Firstly, the journey to the world of the dead is materialized through various ritual processes of Seoul Ginoguigut. This characteristic is prominent in the context of comparisons with the death rituals of Confucianism and Buddhism, and of shamanism in other regions of Korea. Secondly, in Seoul Ginoguigut the communications of the dead and the living are made through direct dialogues between them through shaman's possession. The communications by direct dialogues between the dead and the living make it easy to accept death as a real fact, and have an effect of recognizing the individuality and uniqueness of each death. Thirdly, the blessings of Seoul Ginoguigut are so inclusive that they cover the dead's safe journey toward the world of the dead as well as the happiness of the living. This characteristic is related to the understanding of death of Korean shamanism that does not separate death and living. These three characteristics are perceived in the context of comparisons with the death rituals of Confucianism and Buddhism, and of Seoul Ginoguigut. And they give a clue to understand how the death rituals of Korean shamanism have persisted in Korean society.

`일본 대지진이 우리 설비건설업계와 무슨 관련이 있나?' 하고 의아해하는 분이 있을 것이다. 신문방송학 이론 중 뉴스 가치(News Value)라는 것이 있다. 언론에서 뉴스를 선택하는 기준인데, 그 기준 중에 근접성(Proximity)이라는 것이 있다. 쉽게 이야기해서 다른 나라에서 사람 수만 명 죽은 것보다 내 집에 강아지 죽은 것이 더 큰 뉴스거리가 된다는 것이다. 그런 면에서 일본 대지진은 우리 설비업계에 이슈 조차되지 않을 수 있다. 그런데 그게 꼭 그렇지만은 않다. 잠시 후 좀 더 살펴보자.
