Mashiho Chiri
*Please visit the official website for reservations and more information.
Mashiho Chiri (1909-1961) was a linguist and ethnologist born into a family descended from an Ainu. He is the younger brother of Yukie Chiri, the editor, and translator of "Ainu Shin’yōshū" (translated into English as Ainu Spirits Singing), and his representative works include "A Classified Dictionary of the Ainu Language and An Ainu Language Place Name Dictionary". These works are based on his extensive collection of vocabulary across Hokkaido and Karafuto (Sakhalin). His work, to this day, is considered indispensable for the Ainu language and Ainu cultural research. He also left behind many research papers on Ainu oral literature and cultural history. Even 60 years after his death, he continues to have a wide-ranging influence on linguistics, oral literature, ethnology, and historical research. This retrospective exhibition takes a look at the people he interacted with during his lifetime and his research that continues to resonate today.
