JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt has been contended by physical anthropologists and prehistoric archaeologists that Ezo and Emishi, whose names appear in ancient Japanese history, were distinct from the Ainu. The author, basing his case on documentary and linguistic materials, particularly on place names of Ainu origin in northeastern Honshu, concludes that the Ezo and Emishi were one and the same group with the Ainu, and that they had moved down from the north to settle in northeastern Honshu.View full abstractDownload PDF (2105K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSchmidt considered that the concept of divinity in the "primitive culture" (Urkultur) was that of a Supreme Being, and he assigns many superior attributes to this Supreme Being. This concept was based upon a combination of the concepts of divinity which still continue to exist fragmentarily in present day primitive cultures. On the other hand, Pettazzoni, the advocate of "uranism", feels that since the Supreme Being is a heavenly deity, his omniscience must be identified with his all-seeing powers. Although the author agrees with Pettazzoni insofar as the latter does not forcibly combine his heavenly deities into a single Supreme Being, he points out the narrowness of this point of view and its failure to comprehend Schmidt's theory of the culture circle, which the author regards very highly. But the theory of primitive revelation and degeneration is Schmidt's personal religious creed; his theory of culture circles is separate. The author feels that we must be careful, even from the standpoint of culture circle theory, to avoid the injection of personal creed into the conception of the most primitive races and to overidealize it.View full abstractDownload PDF (1630K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe author analyzes the fishery scenes incised on three bira-bone needle-cases belonging to the so-called Okhotsk Culture, of which one was found n Saghalien and two in Hokkaido. The fishing scenes represent boats like those of the present-day Ainu and quite distinct from the kayaks of the Eskimoes and Aleuts. The relationship to the modern Ainu style is illustrated by the three drawings. In two of the cases, one of several fishermen is shown standing up, having just thrown a toggle-headed harpoon by 1 and (that is, without the use of a throwing-board). In the third a fisherman seems to be drawing in a net in the modern Ainu fashion. On the other hand, the influence of Eskimoes, or Aleuts is also distinctly noticeable in the animal style and realistic technique which the Ainu lack. The needle-case made of bird's bone is an Asiatic-American culture element in the arctic and semi-arctic northern hemisphere found from the Urals to Labrador and seems to have diffused from Western Siberia in the New Slone Age. The toggle harpoon-head is one of the most ancient cultural achievement of mankind, which in the Pacific has attained a high development in at least two centres, the Japanese Archipelagoes and the Bering Strait region. The materials presented in this article will throw some light on the character and structure of the Okhotsk Culture as well as on those of the Moyoro shell-mounds in Hokkaido, where one of the three needle-cases was found in 1941.View full abstractDownload PDF (659K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe author, one time member of the North Western Institute in Kalgan, was engaged in research on customary laws and traditional manners of the Inner Mongols near Pei-tzu-miao, when the USSR declared war against Japan. He fled to Manchuria, was taken captive by the Russians, and was sent through Siberia to Ulan-Bator, capital of the Outer Mongolian People's Republic. During his two years' life of forced labour there, he had opportunities to observe how life was going on among the Mongols under the Russian regime, e. g. education, lamaism, relation of the sexes etc., in contrast with Inner Mongolia which had been eight years under the Jap nese control.View full abstractDownload PDF (1394K) -
