This article examines the significance of becoming a "Nyudo," by getting　all the hair cut and wearing the priest costume just like a priest, for the people other than formal professional priests in medieval Japan. While formal professional priests belonged to and lived in temples, "Nyudos" stayed outside of temples and lived in a secular life, even though they dressed like formal professional priests. In the early medieval period, aristocrats and warriors considerd being a "Nyudo" as the ideal life-style for the old age. This practice became popular among the lower class of society in the late medieval era. This is because the idea that becoming a "Nyudo" symbolized one's acceptance of reaching an old age spread among people by that time. Indeed, the practice functioned as a sort of a ceremony in medieval Japan. This observation suggests that the distinction between "Nyudos" and formal professional priests is important in the study of medieval Japan, for the formar played a notable social function as a ceremony.
