| Abstract: | Hisakatsu Hijikata spent three years of formal study in the art department of Tokyo University beginning in 1924. After a short interval he embarked on a decade of research in Micronesia which took him first to Palau and later to Satawal in the Western Carolines for an extended stay under government sponsorship. This Intensive research generated a book length treatment of Satawalese folklore and other articles ranging from education and beliefs to funeral rites. In 1938 he left Satawal for Palau and returned to Japan during that year. He then took a position with the South Seas Office in Tokyo and did some anthropological research at the University level. In 1914 he did a study of the people of North Borneo for the Japanese Government. By 1952 re resumed writing about the myths and legends of Palau late in 1956 and in 1957 he held exhibitions of his artwork. |
