Kyoto University has a long tradition of cultural and social anthropology. Its uniqueness lies in the close relationship with physical anthropology and primatology, of which Kyoto has a very distinguished history. Though not institutionalised, the University has produced many leading anthropologists. One of them is Prof. Tadao Umesao, who later became the founder Director-General of The National Museum of Ethnology. However, the establishment of the Department of Cultural Anthropology is relatively new. It came into being in 1993 with 5 teaching staff including me. Two professors retired, and currently the staff number is three. All of them are affiliated to the Graduate School as full members. They are as follows: (Conversational Analysis, Hunters and Gatherers, Bushman, Primatology) (Cognitive Anthropology, Ethno-Medicine, Shamanism, Ainu, Polar, Siberia) (Social Anthropology, Religion, Fishing Societies, Gender and Sexuality, India and Sri Lanka)
