[Profile]
ANKEI Yuji
ANKEI Yuji is a professor of anthropology of livelihood in Yamaguchi Prefectural University. He has been interested in the relationship between human life and the environment. He first studied biology, but soon changed his mind to study cultural aspects of human-nature relationship.
He has carried out field surveys in Iriomote and other islands in southern Japan (2 years), in Democratic Republic of Congo and other countries of tropical Africa (3 years). He also stayed in France (2 years) and is now staying in Navarra State, Spain (5 months).
As a university professor in Japan, he can speak to students well asleep. But he also tries to wake up his sleeping students in his class, with his ocarina and other musical instruments. In order to change the atmosphere of his class, he welcomes students of other classes and people from local communities participating in his class.
