イヌイト／エスキモーのクリベッジボード

19世紀末から20世紀初頭を中心にして

抄録

The Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples has collected some cribbage boards. The collection includes seven Inuit/Eskimo cribbage boards. While two cribbage boards were made in the end of the 20th century, others were made from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. This paper is aimed at making clear general history of these early Eskimo cribbage boards through our collection also trying to identify the person who made our cribbage boards. Finally this paper will point out that some early cribbage boards have an indicator of “ The Art ” like contemporary Inuit/Eskimo works and will consider the increase in influence of dominant society on Eskimo carvings and engravings from the 19th century until the 20th century.
