| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research was to explore the social and academic background of the 1903 Osaka “Academic Human Pavilion” which Tsuboi Shogoro designed after visiting 1889 Paris Exposition to show the theme of cultural evolution through exhibition of human beings.
The research achievements are twofold: 1) Exhibition documents and Tsuboi’s writings demonstrate he did not follow the popular idea of single trait development of social evolutionism, but developed the idea of cultural diffusionism in order to understand Japanese race. 2) In the exhibition, Javanese people were displayed despite being neither close to Japanese racial traits nor close in terms of colonial politics. Javanese were displayed many exhibitions at that time, raising the question of a “human exhibition industry” in the Netherlands and her colonies, which will be the subject of further study.
