Seiichi Izumi

Cultural anthropologist. Born in Tokyo. After graduating from Keijo Imperial University, he continued to conduct anthropological research and surveys at the same university, focusing on the Nanai people of Jeju Island and Manchuria (northeastern China). After World War II, he returned to Japan and became an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo in 1951, where he established the Department of Cultural Anthropology with Ishida Eiichiro. He expanded his research from Brazilian Japanese society to Andean prehistory, and promoted the University of Tokyo's Andean surveys from 1958 to 1969, playing a leading role in Japanese research on Latin American anthropology, especially in the field of prehistory. He was also active internationally, having been one of the earliest to promote exchanges with Korean academic circles, and his writing from an anthropological perspective covers a wide range of fields. He is the author of many works, including "Izumi Yasukazu Collected Works" (7 volumes, Yomiuri Shimbun, 1971-1972).
