A collection of essays by North American and Japanese scholars on
the life, work and influence of Yanagita Kunio (1875–1962), the
founder of Japanese Folklore Studies. In addition to providing
background information on Yanagita and his discipline, the eight
contributors whose evaluations of Yanagita vary critically examine
his research methodology, political stance, use of language,
relevance for nation-building efforts in the Third World, and
impact on Japanese intellectuals. Also included is an annotated
translation of Chapter Two of Yanagita's 1941 essay, Nihon no
matsuri (The Festivals of Japan).
