In August of 1959, I have, from the standpoint of constitutional anthropology, made a study of 535 adult males, original inhabitants of the Harima district (Ono, Miki, Yashiro, Takino) of Hyogo Prefecture. The trunk, limbs, head, face, etc., of the living body were measured and a detailed examination made upon 27 items of measuement and index values. The results were then compared with that of other districts.
Judging from the fact that the inhabitants of the Harima district reveal various qualities of the highest value in constitutional anthropology, it was admitted that they bear a strong resemblance to the peoples of Yamato, Izumo and Koma, who have originally immigrated from the Asian Continent and who are considered to have brought over the highest form of culture in pre-historic Japan.
It is an interesting fact that the inhabitants of Harima district who lived within the sphere of influence of the Yamato dynasty, should resemble the the people of Yamato, more than the inhabitants of Bicchu, Inaba, and Izumo, which are geograpeically more, closely related to Yamato.
